Ok so I'm going to rant here for a minute. I work in the infant room at a daycare. I keep my room as clean as possible to try to eliminate the spreading of germs as much as I can. But teachers can only do so much. If you know your child is sick, DON'T BRING THEM TO SCHOOL!!!!!! OR COME PICK THEM UP WHEN YOU ARE TOLD THEY HAVE TO GO HOME!!!! Seriously, how hard is that to understand?! All it does is spread back and forth among the kids and the teachers and the kids are miserable because they don't feel good. Our daycare is now being infected with croup because parents refuse to not send their kids to school or refuse to pick them up when they are told! My one year old son almost died from croup in August! Its very serious! Be a parent and be there when your kid needs you!

Update for those who say croup isn’t contagious:
