Parents have expressed their anger after a school reportedly sent out an email advising parents that children with tonsillitis should still attend classes.
Twitter user Gem shared an image from the unnamed school with the caption: “Absolutely disgusted to receive this in an email from my son's school after he had a couple of days off sick.”
The extract from the email is headed “When should your child stay at home?” and says: “When assessing whether to send your child to school or not, consider whether an adult would take a day off from work in a similar situation.
