TNT1 Posted February 19, 2021 Share ours state rather clearly that if you are off sick you should not be logging onto the online class that runs in parallel to the inclass lessonThat's pretty narrow minded. You might be at home to not infect the other kids, but be feeling well enough to not be left behind by the teaching.

Long Wheel Base Posted February 19, 2021 Share Tell me your kids go to a private school, without telling me your kids go to a private schoolIt's Grade R, I think pretty much all grade Rs are private or at least semi private. Even the ones linked to a government are private. My kids are probably going to a government primary school and the Grade R my oldest is at now is linked to the school but it is considered private. I may be wrong but I don't think there are any government Grade Rs in my area and I don't live in a larney area at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FondTF2 Posted February 19, 2021 Share If the Grade R is affiliated to a school that offers Gr1-7, then they probably need the sick note as the school needs to submit absentee reports to the GED. If a private Grade R, then I would not be too concerned Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchelicious Posted February 19, 2021 Share I tell them to bugger off. There is enough authoritarianism around at the moment. Now you have schools wanting in on it. I can understand why they would want it in a normal situation, but right now they can chill a bit. People and the doctors have enough other problems.

Guest Posted February 19, 2021 Share Yep, at least in our school Grade R is considered a "proper" school year so it is not a trivial thing to just let them stay at home for a few days because the kids follow a set curriculum. Few years back we took my son out for a few days to take along when I did the Sani2C. Teacher threw quite a hissy fit This is correct. My wife is a grade R teacher and she said the same Gen, Skubarra and Long Wheel Base 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see why some nondescript beurocrat should be imposing unnecessary admin and ball ache, just cos he has another box to check. I’m with Patch on this one. Let them take a flying leap.

If the schools start firing children for not giving a doctors note for being off for 2 days, and kids start taking the schools to the CCMA, the above might make a bit more sense. Until then, most parents didn't moan one peep about paying full school fees for the last year even though the kids were barely there, and the parents themselves had to do much of the schooling, while still working full time to pay for those fees. So, some of that same courtesy and understanding can extend the other way too. Patensie and Long Wheel Base 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
