  Case: Bringing Child to School
Ms. Anderson is a high school teacher, and her child is running a fever and therefore cannot attend her elementary school. Ms. Anderson does not want to use up a sick day, so she decides to bring her child to her job with her and have her sit at the back of the room throughout the day. Ms. Anderson did not ask permission to bring the sick child to work, so when administration became aware of the situation, Ms. Anderson was sent home with her sick child. What consequences should Ms. Anderson face?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I often find that for the institute of education is two faced when it comes to children. We as educator spend countless amounts of time, effort, and funds on tending to children needs. Yet as a teacher and parent myself, taking a day off to tend to your personal child/children can often feel as if you are not being proficient at your job. I agree that she should have discussed bringing the student into the classroom but obviously the woman was under some sort of pressure. No mother wants her sick kid at her job. The principal and the teacher need to have a semi-personal/ professional conference. In this conference the goal is to understand the elements which influenced the teachers choice and to agree upon future expectations in these matters.

Comments: A nice and appropriated talk can ease things in the future. The teacher will not feel like she can not take a day off if she finds an open communication line with the administrator and I am sure she wont bring the sick child again.
