Asking the teacher

Since another case of H1N1 was at a local university -- a couple weeks ago at a local college. DH was just going to mention to DS' teacher again the importance of knowing if anything was going around the class or within their "block" of 4 classrooms. Everyone is being vigilant about it in our area; however, it doesn't hurt to remind people.

Sorry, I know this is a month later to respond to this question. It sounds like your schools are really helpfull, and the letter Harriett found would be so great..
I just can't believe the horrible time we have had dealing with our school... If you want you can look under the posting " Her teacher has the Swine Flu"...

We ended up having to go to the principle's boss because of how nasty talking and her sending us a letter threatning to take us to court, even with 3 doctor letters... Thank god her boss was on our side and very angry at what the principle did , and said to us the primary concern was Makailyn's health and didn't know why the principle wanted to lie about the out break of kids with the Flu......

But, if anyone is still looking at this post , here's my question......

Even if they told you there was an out break of anything that could be harmfull to your child,, What Would You Do??

The state law here in Texas, says a child Must Attend School, unless they are ill at that time. That you can not be absent just because YOUR CHILD MIGHT CATCH SOMETHING,, even if they are at HIGH RISK !!! I really wish someone could answer what would they do????

Since Makailyn's surgery and before she has been very sick,,and we have had many doctor notes and her school work is being done at home and the school has not sent a tutor (we don't need one anyways) which is usually common after so many days of missed school...She is getting better ,, which may sound crazy, but I would rather her have the h1n1 shot before going back,,,,,,,,,,,,even though thank god for the first time in over a year we have been battleing one infection after another....And now,, LOT'S MORE MEDS,,she's already on a very agressive regimen....

There have been so many kids and young adults that have lost thier lives to this flu in our area!!!! And the school looks half empty due to the large cases of kids in her school out with the flu.....

I'v got 3 doctors that will call me the min they get the shot,which they thought for sure it was going to be last week and it didn't come in....I'm scared to death to send her back and her not be protected at least with the shot.....Especially of because of how long she has been sick and we are finally seeing a turn around.....

I would really like to know WHAT WOULD YOU DO?? Would you wait to send her back knowing how bad things are,,, or would you send your child to the school and know it's a toss of a coin at this point knowing she could catch it??? Thankyou,,Karla <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

Karla -- you asked what I would do and I'll tell you, because you seem so overwhelmed and upset....

I wouldn't send her to school. I'd pull her out completely and do home schooling for the remainder of the term, if not for the remainder of the year.

I've heard advertisements for fully accredited online k-12 programs that allow the parent and child to home school while getting a full online curriculum. I'm not sure how you remove enrollment fromt he current school and entroll in the other -- but in the case you are talking about, THAT is what I would do.

I'm not a big fan of homeschooling for us. I'm a full time college professor. Not only do I feel I wouldn't have the time to devote, but I'm not convinced I have the ability to teach to my daughter's level adequately. Further, I have had some home schooled kids in my classes, and while they are very very bright, they aren't as well socialized into school behavioral norms. But all of that would be thrown in the garbage if I felt that my daughter was at risk by going to school. Period. I'd have to make it work.

I know a couple of parents with other health issues on top of CF who are in a homebound program during cold and flu season in the City. A teacher comes to the house a couple times a week. It's thru their school district, I believe it starts with a recommendation from the cf clinic.
