[quote=Anonymous]So sorry to all the teachers and students my child exposed to the flu last week.  This particular strain is vicious and spreads like wildfire.  The school administration had a doctor's note explaining my child's condition and the risk of exposure to others, however, pressure was put on her to complete her exams during the normal exam periods.

The administration said it would have been "inconvenient" to the staff for my child to take the exams after she recovered.  There was a limited time frame and no consistent plan in place to address making up exams.  Therefore, my child showed up sick, coughing and sneezing her germs all over her exam papers and the hallways of the school.  Were some kids annoyed of the noises she made during the exam?  Sure, but right about now the noises are the least of their worries as they develop the high fever, achiness, and congestion like my child had when taking her exams.  For the students and teachers that come down with the flu this week, thank the AP's and Principal for pressuring students to come to school sick.[/quote]
