Daycare Waits Until 2:42pm To Reveal Kid Has A 38.1°C Temp Which Means They Can't Come Back For 24 Hours

A daycare facility in our town's burgeoning Heights district informed a local mother yesterday afternoon that her kid had an extremely mild temperature and required collecting as soon as possible.

In addition to this very real inconvenience, the centre director down at Little Schitz Academy on Delegate Road reminded mum Anya Taylor that her daughter wouldn't be allowed to attend the centre for 24 hours, as per their policy.

Speaking to The Advocate this morning, as she tries to work from home with a perfectly fine 3-year-old bouncing off the walls, Anya identified a few problems with said lockout policy.

"It's fucken bullshit!" she said.

"They use those poxy fucken COVID thermometer things, like the forehead scanners. Everyone knows they don't work, they're just for show. They probably put the heat up and made them all wear jumpers, so they wouldn't have to work as hard today! And, in case you didn't know, you still have to fucken pay for when they're at home sick. Screaming their heads off when I'm trying to be on calls. It's fucked,"

"And if she is sick, then how did she get sick? From that fucken walled petri dish of a place. It's just so fucked how that whole sector works. It needs someone go through it who isn't some stupid fucken career public servant suckhole with perks and entitlements out the arse. Fucken place! Everthing's fucked!"

More to come.
