How Sick is Too Sick?

[Veronica]

If everyone rode bikes to work and stayed home when too sick to ride, I bet we'd all be better off. We're still not sure about how to keep sick kids out of school though, so the staff have to show up...

My district actually has an attendance contest. The school with the best attendance gets a "traveling" trophy.

Currently we have the elementary trophy. Every time my principal praises the students in her announcements I cringe. I finally e mailed her asking her to include that if they are really sick, they should stay home. She's pretty cool, so she has added that to her spiel.

It's too bad that our funding is tied to daily attendance.
