When they were young I didn’t work. That’s the sacrifice I had to make. We had to survive on his paycheck and my savings. Daycare was too expensive for 4 kids and if they got sick then I was able to be home with them. He doesn’t make enough for me to have stayed home but it’s what worked.

You just said it - stop sending them to school. If they are sick, keep them home!

I have 4 children. I have made many job sacrifices for them

People forget that teachers aren’t immune to germs either. People forget that it’s our job to teach your children, not be their puke bucket, diarrhea scraper or booger catcher.

School is not babysitting so you can go to work. You made the choice to have children, you have to understand the sacrifice it takes to raise them. Teachers don’t get an unlimited amount of sick time and we certainly don’t get paid enough to be teacher, nurse and parent. We barely get paid enough survive on 1 job. Most teachers work 2-3 additional jobs.

That’s fine, you’ll just end up taking more time off as they continue to add to the Petri dish continuously making each other sick

Until they are well enough to function. Just because the fever is gone doesn’t mean they’re 100%. Sending a barely functioning zombie to school isn’t helpful. My personal favorite is the wide open faucet of snot pouring from their face and using their hand to wipe it and then wipe their snot soaked hand on the tables. That was fun to scrape off last week

I’m a public school teacher and it’s everywhere. Parents aren’t keeping their kids home. A few parents said their pediatrician told them that once they were 24hr fever free to send them to school. Then we’re getting these pale, droopy eyed zombies with snot pouring from their noses hacking & sneezing everywhere.

My now 16yo wears shorts every day. He’s been like this for 3+ years. He’ll only put pants on when he skis because he doesn’t like the feel of snow pants on his legs

What trailer trash looks like when it tries to look good

Because people are freakin psycho and are no longer able to control themselves when out in public

Drove from Weston to Worcester and the roads in Weston and Wayland were pretty bad. Sudbury and Hudson were better. They treated in the Worcester/Shrewsbury area yesterday with the beet juice stuff but I don’t find that it even works

My 16yo lives in shorts. The only time he puts pants on is when he goes skiing because he doesn’t like the feeling of snow pants on his legs

I can’t see anymore at night and hate driving anywhere I don’t know know because of it. These new lights make things 10000x worse for me
