Rant: Rumour-has-it
Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2017 1:02 pm
I attended work experience two years ago for my high school. This incident was weird and unfair to both the child and their parents.
I was on my lunch break when the director of the childcare centre informed the room leader about this 3-year-old who is HIV-positive. So this room leader had this idea in her head that she was allowed to gossip about it to the other parents, talking about whatnots and whatsits etc. I heard a few bad things and anyway, I'll get to the point.
1. It is not like the child is going to spread it among the other children.
2. The director was really implying to inform the parents whenever a bug was going around so their child can stay at home instead of getting extremely ill.
I told the room leader off, saying to her she really needs to get her facts straight before going to extreme measures. The child nor their parents doesn't deserve this unwanted attention.
I informed the director and she didn't do much about it.
