sending them to class risks other kids getting sick or your kid throwing up on class again making things worse.
+ I would never choose the shelter from bullies option because that is sure overreaction while there is nothing to suggest your kid is being bullied or should get bullied for being sick
and while your kid might not be bullied yet they surely will be if teachers start treating your kid special and giving " do not bully the sick" lectures making a thing over it.
bullies feast on that nonsense.
I can see your point but, if I go into "break out the plastic bubble and quarantine him" mode, that would also make him a target for teasing. I chose the make sure he isn't teased option because by making sure he isn't teased, I've instructed the teacher NOT to make a big deal of this and to just watch him to ensure that he is going to be okay; health wise and socially. The option is "Make sure he doesn't get teased" so obviously, any teacher with half a mind would know that making him the example in a lecture would do the opposite.
Obviously if he were to get sick again, a thorough examination would be required; more than likely at our doctor's office, not by a local school nurse. No offense to them but our doctor has our complete history, including the fact that Vasilios is an alien. No thank you on the whole "let's run experiments and see why he has two hearts" option. Lol
