The flu is a bad thing to get if

With the onset of cold and flu season comes fevers, coughs, sore throats, upset stomachs and the list goes on. Most concerning is when ailments occur at night or on the weekend and fall outside of normal physician office hours. How can you know what warrants a trip to a pediatric urgent care, an Emergency Room or what can possibly wait until Monday when your physician's office resumes regular office hours? There are many gray areas that require the discretion or gut feeling of the parent, but some situations warrant a trip to an Urgent Care that specializes in Pediatrics or even a trip to the Emergency Room.…
1. Where should the citizens go? This question does not pertain to us. We are simply school superintendents, thus our responsibility is only with the students.…
It is important to take the body temperature twice a day. Watch for any flu like symptoms such as chills, sore throat, headache, and nausea and vomiting. The primary care physician should be notified about the possible exposure (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 2015). 5th case: (WHO, 2015b) • Patient: 50 year old male, health care professional • May 17, 2015: treated the 1st case • May 22, 2015: placed on…
Should School Start Later For Teens? Everyone morning, teens across America must wake up early for school. However, what some people do not realize is that teens are not getting enough sleep, but is absolutely vital that they do. The best solution for this is starting school later because not only are teens not getting enough sleep, but schools should also start later because starting school earlier encourages irregular sleep patterns and it is difficult for them to wake up and go to sleep earlier.…
Dear Mr. Burns and Mrs. Maro, Many students at Washington Middle School agree that the shorts rule shouldn't exist. For various reasons the shorts dress code is unfair and harmful to the students learning. The heat is unbearable let alone while wearing pants. Shorts that meet dress code requirements aren't easy to find for female students and Why does Washington have a shorts rule when other air conditioned schools in the DCSD don't have one? In this letter I hope you realize how unfair and harmful the shorts dress code really is.…
Less Likely: Reasons Why Schools Should Start Later Most students go to school early, come home longing for sleep, and stay up long hours into the night doing homework. However, this is detrimental to their health and performance. Many school boards assume that tired teenagers are just part of the high school experience. They do not see sleep deprived teenagers as being a big enough problem to change the school start times.…
Allison Flaherty - Newsela : Officials Differ When It's Too Cold to Go to School Brrrrr! The thermostat says it’s freezing out there.…
Waking up really early for another day of school isn’t probably fun for anyone, especially for the kids who have to be at school before 8:00 or 8:30 am and for the parents who have to drag their kids out of bed. What if students get really tired at school and not be able to do their work? Aren’t you worried about their health problems too? Maybe, school should start later so kids can get enough sleep and not having to wake up so early to go school when they’re still tired. Well, we’re about to find out.…
Year Round School is causing many problems all over the U.S. For example coming from Glori Chaika, some schools even have to start earlier because of the effects of year round school. During the summer schools starts at 6:50 A.M and ends at 1:10, this is because the school wants kids to be able to participate in P.E, but they can not if it is 110 degrees out. This shows that the schools are in a big loss of not only education but costs too. If the school can not even pay for air conditioning anymore then we should not have Year Round School; it will negatively affect families and students.…
One of the biggest impediments to the success of college students, other than finals week, is illnesses. Flu season generally begins in October and ends in May. Which means, on top of all their classes and for most of the school year, college students must worry about the flu, especially because they are densely packed in the dormitories, which allows for easy spreading of illnesses. Despite this, few students tend to get vaccinated for the flu, even if it may be offered for free. To enact a change of culture here at Truman, we must first learn all we can about the reasons behind the decision to skip or receive the flu vaccine.…

Studies show that students are more alert after nine o'clock. With school starting at 7:44, the first two periods seem like a waste. Students aren't learning to their full potential, and as a result aren't getting the grades they are capable of. Over twenty percent of all high school students fall asleep in school at one time or another. It's hard to learn while you're sleeping.…
The article, “The Long-Term Consequences of Missing School” written by Mikhail Zinshteyn begins with the stereotypical phrase for teenagers, “too cool for school” when he talks about the idealized student who often skips or misses class because he’s “too cool”. Zinshteyn then opens up with the reality of statistics that stated just by missing two days in a month can set back their academic potential. He mentions a source of data by the Attendance Works Organization that provides research on multiple school scenarios such as early education, elementary, middle school, and even high school. Within each subject, there are various reports from several different sources that contain factual information that may be helpful when researching the topic…
Several studies show that the most valuable and important time commitment in a course was the time actually spent in the classroom.(Schiming) Some other valuable and important time commitments included the time spent in discussion sections that complemented the lectures, and the time spent studying outside of class preparing for the class itself.(Schiming) That study concluded that the most productive time spent in any course was in the classroom; and that time had the greatest positive impact on the students’ performance. Another study of similar motives was taken on the most significant activities the impacted the students’ performance in any given course. The results of that study showed the idea that the most important learning takes place in the classroom and that students who do a conscientious job on a daily basis preparing for and participating in class perform better than students who skip class and try to cram for exams.(Schiming)…
