How sick do your kids have to be before you'll let them stay home from school? Obviously you don't want to make everyone else sick. But it can also mess up your whole day if you have to watch them.
A new survey asked more than 1,400 parents if they'd still send their kids to school with these symptoms. And THIS is why we all get sick every year . . .
1. 88% of parents said they'd still send their kid to school with a runny nose and a dry cough, as long as they didn't have a fever.
2. 84% would still send them to school with red, watery eyes but no fever.
3. 51% said they'd still send them to school even if they DID have a slight fever, as long as they were acting normal.
4. 42% said they'd still send them to school if they'd THROWN UP, and didn't have any other symptoms. But only if they'd thrown up once.
When I was a kid, mom always made me go to school, unless I had a crazy high fever, or I was vomiting. Other than that, get to class! What about you?
