I disagree. If my kid fainted, I’d want her in the ER. Fainting can be harmless, or it can be a symptom of something a lot more severe. Plus, a lot of people don’t know if there’s a medical history associated with the fainting episode-if that kid fainted and had type 1 diabetes, “wait until monday” is not ok. Plus if they faint and hit their head, there can be a subdural hematoma that can kill them (a la Sheryl Sandberg’s husband, poor guy).
