  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 think that Ms Anderson should be spoken to and have concerns, such as getting the rest of her class sick, voiced to her. Though she didn't want to use a sick day, as a consequence of that, she could have put her students at risk of being sick and missing school.
