Sorry, but you're talking apples and oranges here.

In your scenario, the student would send home from the
hospital with his
or her parents, who would be responsible for
monitoring the child's
condition and would take responsibility for returning
the child to the
hospital if any complications occurred.

At Hogwarts, there are no adults available to monitor
a child's health
after illness or injury. Prudence would require that
the child be kept
in the infirmary until the child was clearly out of
danger. 

I would suspect this is pretty much standard practice
at any boarding
school.

As for Hermione, I wouldn't think it would be
practical for her to
return to the general school population while still a
cat, would you?
