The flu, corona virus, and other illnesses are spreading rapidly. So many kids are getting ill that tons of makeup work are being added to them and are due without them really getting to ‘know’ what they’re really doing. Studies show that around 70% of children’s illnesses comes from schools, especially middle and high school. Being trapped in a room exposed to other children that could potentially carry a virus is very horrid for the children around them. A week or so off from school would give time for children to get well, some viruses to chill, and other things to improve the attendance of students. Hundreds of students from George Washington High School we’re gone a few days ago due to viruses and sickness. Who knows how many children these children are spreading the viruses to?  Why not just give a bit of care to our students who don’t want to get sick? No child really wants to be ill! To be honest, one week isn’t even enough! Two- three weeks would seriously get rid of many viruses but us students are asking for at least one week. Teachers are also getting ill specifically from the students. What if our principle or vice principle got sick from a teacher who got it from a student? Thank you for reading this.
