In the autumn and winter of each year, many students will have a cold and fever that affects their normal schooling. And for many working parents, missing work to take care of their children means losing a day's wages. As a result, some parents choose to send their sick children back to school so that they can continue working. However, similar behavior has caused a controversy, and it was even almost networked by other parents**. This article will discuss this issue from different perspectives and review an incident in which a parent sent a sick child to school.
1. Why do parents choose to send sick children to school?
In modern society, many families are dual-income and need to go out to work in order to make a living. Parents are faced with the problem of taking care of their children and earning money, and going to school has become a better choice for them. In addition, parents sometimes feel that their child's illness is not serious, but only a mild fever with no other obvious symptoms, so they choose to send their children to school.
2. The school's attitude towards parents sending sick children to school
When parents send their sick children to school, they usually have their temperature taken by the teacher, but if the temperature is abnormal, the teacher will ask the parents why they are still sending their children out of school. However, for some parents, it is not very convenient for them to take time off work to take care of their children due to work and other reasons. Sometimes, parents will simply ask their children to be sent back to school and asked for the care of teachers.
3. Difficult choices faced by parents
In the case of a parent who sent their child back to kindergarten, the parent himself still needed to go to work and the child's condition was not very serious. When parents ask teachers if they can take care of their children, teachers hesitate. Eventually, the parents decided to leave their child in the kindergarten for the time being, while the child spent the entire morning in the dean's office. At the same time, parents often feel uneasy because they are worried about the change in their child's body temperature at noon. When the parent picked up the child from school, he found that the child's symptoms had eased and his body temperature had returned to normal.
1. Parents' different views
Parents have different opinions on whether their children should go to school when they are sick. Some parents believe that sick children should not go to school for fear of other children being infected, while also taking into account the child's health condition. However, there are some parents who believe that their children can still go to school if the illness is not very serious.
2. The focus of the parent debate
Some have accused parents of having their children sick at school for a lack of responsibility and for putting their children's health ahead of their parents' work. They believe that even kindergarten students should not go to school easily, especially for those who are younger and physically weaker. However, there are also parents who argue that the essence of a kindergarten is a nursery, that is, it provides childcare services. Only very seriously ill children should not go to school, and if there are only some mild symptoms, then they should still be able to go to school.
3. How to deal with kindergartens
Like other schools, kindergartens usually ask sick students not to go to school for a while in order to ensure the health of their students. However, in some special circumstances, the kindergarten may provide some special arrangements for sick students, such as placing students in individual care in places such as the dean's office. This both reduces students' exposure to other children and ensures that sick students are properly rested and cared for.
1. Parents need to take care of their children
For many families, childcare and work are a difficult couple. Especially for dual-income families, they often have to make difficult decisions when their children are sick. Due to financial pressures, some parents may choose to send their children back to school so that they can continue working.
2. The impact of the workplace on the family
In real life, some employment opportunities may discriminate against married women with children. Some employers may be concerned that these women will find it difficult to devote themselves to their work because of family responsibilities. This also makes some highly educated women less willing to have children, afraid of giving up their career ideals because of childbirth.
3. Solutions for the status quo
In response to this problem, in addition to providing economic subsidies, we can also adjust the educational environment, educational policy, and discrimination against family births. For example, offering more flexible working arrangements so that parents can take better care of their children. In addition, schools can also offer more sick leave policies to reduce the pressure on parents.
Parents have different views and practices when it comes to their children going to school when they are sick. On the one hand, parents need to take care of their children's health and ensure that they are properly rested and cared for. On the other hand, parents also face conflicts between caring for their children and work. It is important for schools and students to ensure a healthy environment in the school, so it is necessary to take appropriate measures for sick children. Kindergartens may consider special arrangements for sick students to ensure they can be properly cared for. At the same time, in order to resolve the conflict between childcare and work, society and ** can also provide more support and policies. Only by working together can we find the best solution to the problem of children going to school when they are sick.
