A mum was left annoyed by a teacher's 'utterly ridiculous' comment after her daughter caught chickenpox and had to spend a few days off school. Taking to Mumsnet, the anonymous parent explained that after contracting the highly contagious disease, her child was off school for a week to give her time to recover.
She claims she was called by the school to pick up her daughter after spots started appearing on her skin and followed the guidance on how long to keep her home for. However, the girl's teacher was left unimpressed by her absence and voiced her concerns at parent's evening.
As reported by the Mirror, the mum wrote: "My daughter is never off school. Couple of months ago chicken pox going round the class and school phoned and asked I collect her and she had come out in spots and it was going around.
