bentforlife wishes everyone a "merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year. :D"

Thanks, Bent. And Happy Hannukah, or Chan...oh, drat, can't decide how to spell it, so as my friend says "happy Chaka Kahn, everyone" and I think we all celebrate.... 7 shopping days till Solstice :p

Unfortunately they can't help how their parents act. I guess what makes me angry is when I know that a parent is home and they send the sick kids to school anyways. Then I have fits trying to get them to come pick up those kids.

I've kept kids all day in my office and taken a few home myself. The school I work at is low income to poverty level, so I know most parents are having to work. I also have quite a few illegal aliens so this is a big problem.

I do my best to educate parents on illnesses and why not to send kids to school sick. Sometimes an effectively timed sneeze in their direction gets the message across. ;)

I'll climb off my soap box now...

Donna :cool:
