BAGI sesetengah ibu bapa, menghantar anak-anak mereka yang kurang sihat ke sekolah adalah lebih mudah bagi mengelakkan gangguan pada jadual mereka.

Walau bagaimanapun, seorang ibu dari Kanada menegaskan menghantar anak yang sakit ke sekolah bukan sahaja mementingkan diri sendiri malah ia perbuatan tidak bertanggungjawab selain meletakkan risiko yang serius terhadap kanak-kanak lain.

Maria Jordan MacKeigan dari Edmonton, Alberta adalah ibu kepada Jordan Grace, 3 tahun, dan Ana Maria, 9 tahun.

Jordan menghidap penyakit Sindrom Down dan mempunyai sistem imun yang lemah.

Menurut laporan Daily Mail, dalam menjaga anaknya, Maria mula menyedari risiko yang akan dihadapi oleh anaknya setiap hari.

Oleh itu, dia berasa berang apabila ibu bapa lain bertindak menghantar anak mereka yang sakit ke sekolah.

Beliau meluahkan perasaannya di laman media sosial Instagram.

“Saya tak faham mengapa ada yang sanggup meletakkan orang lain dalam keadaan berisiko hanya kerana mereka mempunyai banyak kerja yang perlu dilakukan,

“Sekolah bukanlah pusat penjagaan untuk menjaga anak mereka yang sakit, sebaliknya anak-anak anda memerlukan pelukan dan kasih sayang anda untuk pulih,” katanya.


CLARIFYING AGAIN! If you read my post carefully and without judgement, I specify this frustration was towards a parent who doesn’t work, but “has things to do” and used the school system as the babysitting club! I understand I will get a lot of criticism, but please read before you reply to me like I don’t know what work responsibilities are! • SORRY. I need to clarify. Jordan Grace is healthy, other children are at school completely sick because their parents “have things to do” not a job, just “things to do”!!! • • Tears and anger both flowed for me at school today. I took Jordan Grace home. When my child gets the simple cold she may end up like this! I can’t for the life of me understand why people would put others at risk “because they have so many things to do” (FYI school is not the babysitting club) not only are others at risk but your own child needs you to cuddle them, to love them, to care for them back to health. When Jordan Grace is sick, I think of her first, and how miserable she would be at school. How she needs her mama by her side caring for her. But I also think of others, I don’t want my child to go get others sick especially those who may end up in the hospital because their little bodies can’t fight the sickness off on their own. • • • If we cared more about the world around us and not just ourselves this world would be a much better place!
