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

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...
