Swine Flu & Schools (required blog)
To be honest I would be happy to have time off, even if it because of an infectious and potentially fatal virus. I know that may sound crazy, but it would provide a much needed break. The unfortunate part is that the swine flu is very dangerous and poses a real threat to students, teachers, and staff. Additionally, it is close to the end of the year and it is state-testing time, which means that many of the schools that have closed will have to extend the year.
I know that this is a very scary situation for many. I don't think that it's unreasonable for schools to close if there have been infections in the area.
Interesting update: As I was writing this blog, the school secretary came in and handed me a letter to give the kids about how to prevent contracting the swine flu and symptoms to look for.
