My grandson gets sent home for spitting mucus in the trash can but they claimed he was throwing up! So for every time he excretes mucus out, automatically they assume he throws up! I taught my grandson not to spit his mucus on his hands and that he could run to the bathroom if he can't find a tissue to spit his mucus , either to spit it out in my trash can the toilet or get a tissue. So I guess that's what he'd be doing at school, spitting his mucus out in the trash can. When I spoke to his principal over the phone, she said she wasn't there when it happened but according to her, she said that the nurse said that my grandson threw up. I was like, how did she know? Did she look or dig in the trash can to see the vomit? I know it sounds like a harsh question but as his grandmother who sees this boy every single day, I know that my grandson is not throwing up. He has a cold but not throwing up! The principal seemed irritated by my comment but seriously that was a legit question though. It may not be concerning to her that my grandson missed 4 days already as what she said, " Oh, your grandson only missed 4 days of school!" Only 4 days?!! Well 4 days of absences for me is seriously a big problem as I want my grandson to be at school to learn and to be around other children. Guess what? Every time I picked him up after the so called throwing up comment and every time I take him home, he is fine! Nothing wrong with him! Not even once, that he had spit any mucus nor threw up! So how do I expect my grandson to learn if he's always been sent home by their so called school nurse? I also thought that you have to have a high temperature before you'd be sent home. Well apparently, that's changed! You can't spit mucus out anymore without a proof of you throwing up!
