Why doesn't the employer just give them the fucking sick days

Well you can't do that cuz if you give one employee sick days for their dying child every employee with a dying child is going to want sick days and that might impact the shareholders.

It’s a school?? Who are the shareholders?

The fact that a school has to be pulling this kind of stuff…

Schools have budgets decided by board members who are elected by the taxpayers; and taxpayers don’t like tax hikes! Thus we have the orphan crushing machine.

or government provide better health care & more support to a family with a sick kid? according to the news, they have to travel 100 miles to get the treatment
