Unless your kid has a fever or is throwing up they should go to school. If they have a stomach ache tell the teacher and ask her to keep an eye on the child just in case they look like it's getting worse and they might need to go home.

If my children complain of a tummy ache but have no other signs of illness (fever, just not looking right) I do send them to school. I've gotten calls from school after sending what appeared to be a 100% healthy child to school and having them throw up or something. I've never gotten the tummy ache call. They end up coming home at the end of the day perfectly fine. Anyway, each parent knows their child better than anyone else and we still make mistakes occasionally. It's not that big of a deal and the child will survive.

Kids complain of belly aches quite often. So it's tough to tell if they are really sick or something is bothering them or they just don't want to go to school. Obviously if there is fever then keep her home. But nobody knows the child better than Mom and Dad. And yes sometimes even they are wrong! It happens! But kids like to test their parents sometimes to see what they can get away with and what they can't. I have three daughters and it's really hard to tell sometimes. Depending on how convincing she was that she didn't feel good I probably would have sent her to school. As a matter of fact I have.

it depends on the kid-when i was in primary school I used to say i had a tummy ache to try and get out of going to school. But, as I got older I tend to get really run down towards the end of term, and have ended up puking in school or on the front doorstep of home several times. My mum has now learnt the warning signs and trusts me if i say i have a tummy ache.

Of course! A child should not be home from school unless they are throwing up, have a fever or are bleeding profusely. That's how I was raised. I have had friends whose parents let them stay home form school for a headache on the day of a test, which is utterly ridiculous. You take a Tylenol and go to school. As you get older, you can't afford to miss school, so why let children miss school early?

Depends. Whenever my girl is nervous or upset about something, she says her stomach hurts. Whenever she doesn't want to do something, her stomach hurts. Also, when she needs to have a BM, her stomach hurts. She's 5 1/2. So far this week, I've sent her to summer program, dance class, and swimming class... all with a tummy ache. In her case, it was all nerves. So yeah, if she hasn't shown any other symptoms, I'd send her, but every child is different. (So is every parent!)

In my house there are two classifications of symptoms. The first requires just one symptom to stay home: diarrhea, vomiting or a fever over 101. The second requires that my child exhibit at least two of these symptoms: stomach aches, headaches, sore throats and low grade fevers (100 and under). This covers most pre-test / homework illnesses as well as spring fevers!

You never know. I've sent them to school with a tummy ache before and 9 times out of ten, there's no problem at all.
But then...you get the one time that they complain and BOOM...they puke.
I do NOT send a child to school with a fever. Ever.

It depends, cause if she just has a stomache ach it could just be
gas. But if her diarrhea started at home then no. Sometimes
it better to have your children go to school to prove the they are
in fact ill. It might sound mean, but You have to prove that they are ill or your child won't get an excuse from school. Sometimes
they want a DR. note.
