Be a post whore!

Only 4 more days of the school year for my kids. I just really hope they make it through without getting sick. Lots of rumors going around, but I know that about a fifth of my daughter's grade is out sick with some sort of fever and lethargy. And the rumor is that there's a confirmed case of swine flu in the grade above her, and that 40% of that grade is out sick.

Information from the officials is scarce, but they did send a letter home to the entire school population saying that if any student has a fever they must stay out for 7 days or have a note from a doctor saying they don't have the swine flu. Normal policy is 24 hours after the fever goes away.

You know, typing all this out, I wonder if I should be keeping the kids home for this last worthless week of school.
