Do you follow the 24 hour rule when sending your child back to school after an illness?

Most schools require your child to be symptom free for 24 hours before returning to school after an illness.

How strictly do you follow these rules?

If your child had a high fever at 2pm Monday, but felt fine that evening and following morning, would you send them to school on Tuesday?

Would you give them that extra day to feel better, considering that is what the guidelines state for the school, and keep them home Tuesday?

I would love to hear from working parents. I don’t know how you do it.
