[quote=Anonymous] I fully expect that students will come to school with colds. As others have said, you can't keep kids home for weeks over a cold. But please, parents: teach your students some good hygiene, such as using tissues, and not their hands, to wipe noses. Teach them not to sniff up loudly, but to blow their noses instead. Teach them to sneeze into their elbow crook, not all over the student in front of them. Please tell them that it is not appropriate to lift the necks of their own shirts up over their mouths and sneeze into them (Yes! Many kids actually do this!) Also, teach them to excuse themselves after a very wet sneeze and wash their hands. This will help keep everyone in the classroom healthier. Thank you, an appreciative MS teacher[/quote]
