Why so long

How long do you normally have to wait for parents to pick up a sick child? I have several parents who take over an hour to get here every single time I call. I have waited almost 2 hours, and then sent the child home on the bus because we couldn't get mom to answer the phone anymore. Of course, my administration says "just keep calling" ? Any ideas on how I should handle this?

    So agree with this!! For those that are up front, I will jump hoops to help them. It is the ones that say they are 10 minutes away and they say it every time I call over a 4 hour period.

    I think some people are constitutionally incapable of telling the truth.

    And some are afraid to do so, having been wounded in their battle with life.

    Etc.

    LOL

    I fully understand that people have to work and can't sit in the school parking lot all day waiting for their child to *maybe* get sick. A little communication goes an extremely long way, though. Parents know that it'll be a while before someone can get to the school. Just let the SN know. If I don't know what's going on, I'll give you an hour. After that, I'm calling you again and again and again until you arrive. Unfortunately, I do not have a resource officer ?

    And, no, I will not send your feverish, vomiting, flu-like symptoms child back to class because you're out shopping!

    What will you do with that child?
