Why would you want sickness to spread at schools? This will get kids sick, it will get their teachers sick, kids will take it home to parents and get them sick. What’s the impact to education but also to the wider workforce and productivity?

"Don't take sick leave to care for your sick children" is what they are really saying.

"Sick leave is stealing from your employer" is what they really mean.
