This last bout of flu was a doozy. I have taught with sinus infections and colds, but this was a bonified full blown flu. I don't recommend trying to do ANYTHING with the flu. I think that the stupid state attendance rules just encourage parents to send kids to school. Of course, they have no problems whatsoever missing classes for ski trips or other family trips. Like they never saw a school calendar.....Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22306664.post-46242136226434922342007-02-24T08:29:00.000-05:002007-02-24T08:29:00.000-05:00I agree with you about parents sending kids to sch...I agree with you about parents sending kids to school sick. But sick teachers routinely appear for work at my site. What kind of message is that giving to all and sundry? Sickness is the body's way of telling us to slow down and take it easy. If we don't heed the message, we (and many others) pay the consequences.CaliforniaTeacherGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765655907043136511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22306664.post-45037685270353269532007-02-12T08:26:00.000-05:002007-02-12T08:26:00.000-05:00As an addendum, I am now on day five of antibiotic...As an addendum, I am now on day five of antibiotics and other meds, and I still spiked a fever last night. I don't go out much during the school year. I don't even go to our cafeteria for lunch. I had to have gotten this from a student. I am so tired of them coming in sick to avoid Wednesday Night School. It shows a total lack of regard for others and I am tempted to blast them. At the very least the new class policy will include mandatory hand sanitizer and wipes. This is dangerous. Think what would happen if a kid had menigitis....stupid parents, stupid kids, selfish people.Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.com
