Kind of off topic but, what about when parents are off, but don't let you know? I had a dcg this morning that ended up having diarrhea and fever so I tried to call mom at work. The person covering for her said she had the day off today. I called her cell to let her know and she came right away, as she was out doing errands in town, and not at work in a nearby city.

My question is, should parents be letting us know if they take the day off and how they can be reached, in case something happens to their child?
