(yes, the media got to me and I had to have him tested -- just in case) Instead of wishing him well, the owner wanted me to bring in a note saying he could return to school. ALL HE HAD WAS A COUGH - NO FEVER. Mind you, he likely caught the cold from someone else in his class, since most parents bring kids to school when they have mucus coming out of every hole imaginable. The only reason he was home was because his mother is paranoid. If I have to get my kid a note every time he's okay to go to school, it's going to get pretty expensive and I'm going to be tempted to just send him in when he's not feeling well... This is definitely getting out of hand... After keeping the kiddo home with a cough yesterday, I called his school to let them know he didn't have the flu.
