Right to be upset?

Here's the problem. Within the last month, we have had two confirmed cases of MRSA on our team (a group of shared students among four teachers). One of these students was allowed to stay in the classroom because our school nurse was out for a week and we didn't know what it was, even though the administration strongly suspected it was something infectious. After many complaints, a weeks worth, and the nurse returned, it was confirmed. I am very upset, not just because they compromised my healthy but every one's health including the student who has MRSA by ignoring the matter.

A week after we asked our administration to look into the matter they send a notice saying the case was confirmed and precautions were being taken. I emailed and asked wasn't it a bit late for precautions at this time. My concerns for my well-being considering that I am on immune suppresants were basically dismissed. I am very upset regarding this situation. Am I making more of this than there is? I value your thoughts and opinions. You are the ones who understand my world. Please let me hear from you. This is stressing me out.

My opinion (for whatever it's worth) is that you have a right to be upsent. Especially when it sounds like everyone in the school system knows your condition.

I'm sure they "had" to tell everyone they were taking precautions. Even though, they themselves know that it's kinda late now. --- And at this point, what are you to do? There's nothing that you can do, except express yourself. Right?

Anyway, I feel you have a right to be upset. Upset for yourself, and upset for your students and the rest of the staff.

My oldest daughter is a kindergarten teacher. She is pregnant. I know that for her sake and the sake of her students, I would NOT be happy! I'm an overly protective mother. Even if she is 22.

Really though- what kind of precautions are they taking now?

I do hope that no-one else gets that darn thing. Especially you! Please take care of yourself.

And by the way, I commend you for telling MS students about your illness. And I commend them for being understanding. You all are great to take your own precautions.

Again, please take care of yourself.
