[quote=Anonymous]I taught elementary school for a year- was never sicker in my life. Had a staph infection, numerous colds, and strep throat twice. The staph infection pain rivaled labor pains, no joke. Anyway, kids ALWAYS have runny noses-- sometimes it's allergy, sometimes it's from having outdoor recess on a cold day, sometimes it's a cold, and sometimes it's a lingering sinus infection. I was so frustrated by being sick all the time, but I knew that if parents kept their runny-nosed kids home all the time, they'd never got to work. And as a teacher, I only got 10 sick days a year, so I imagined many of them were in similarly inflexible positions with their jobs. Now sending a kid to school who is vomiting or has diarrhea- that I consider highly problematic. But the common cold that turns into other things like ear infections and bronchitis... eh, it's just unavoidable. [/quote]
