I have to go shopping for school shoes. I know it s not a snow day, but the weather s still bad and I have a cold. Who has a GOOD REASON not to be in school today? I m in hospital. I haven t done my maths homework and I ve just missed my bus!
If you are in hospital you are very ill. Of course you wouldn t be coming to school. However everyone gets colds. What you need to consider is, could I just make sure I wrap up warm, have a paracetamol and still come in? Or, is my cold so bad that I need to stay home in bed all day? If your cold is that bad, that sounds more like the symptoms of flu, so perhaps you should see a doctor. But won t I spread my germs if I come to school? Well maybe, but everyone gets colds anyway. Just make sure you keep your hands clean and cover your mouth to sneeze.
