Half shiite.
You are sick for the days that you report as being unfit for work. If she says that she would have been fit on the saturday then the school cannot count it, even though that is her rest day. If she just turns up on the monday then they will assume that was the first day she was fit to return (thats standard in most places) and record her last day of sickness as sunday, not friday.
As a further note, they cannot discipline her for being sick. What they can do is "manage" absence and point out that patterns of absence are suspicious and that it is affecting service (delivery of education to children!).
