I've been an elementary school teacher for 20 years and have worked at several different schools, and have never seen or heard of a school encouraging parents to bring sick kids in. Never.Just another bit of 'musing'....at one point in time schools told parents to keep kids home at the least sign of a communicable disease. But there came a time (after they changed the school attendance money criteria) that we were actually encouraged to bring our kids in sick for roll call then take them right home. The school no longer got their daily rate if a child was out sick.
What I have seen, regularly, is parents sending sick kids to school, not wanting to pick sick kids up from the nurse's office, not taking sick kids who have had to stay home for multiple days to a doctor for consultation & treatment, etc.
