Okay need to vent:

So I take Katy to the doctor again...... Upper Respiratory Tract Infection and some form of gasto. So she's on Lactose free formula for a week and antibiotics, and she can't go to 'school' this week at all. That's fine, Mark and I can work around that. The thing that ticks me off is that we still have to pay, even though Katy's sick (and it's from her going there in the first place - which we expected but still....) and we have a medical certificate. That's $232.00, for the four days. I thought surely if we had a certificate they could do something, but NOOOOO.

Ah, rant over.

It makes me think that it's probably the reason why so many kids get sick there. Parents must send their kids even if they are sick, cause they can't afford to stay home with them..... Any thoughts on this?

BBL for a nicer post.
