I am a second grade teacher who is leaving in Dec. because of my emet. I am definitely taking the college job to work with younger, wiser, and less sick adults. However, it looks like the dreaded thing has happened in my school. If any of you read my posts from last week you know that lastFriday I was witness to 4 kids and 1 adult v* in my school. Now, this morning I walked down my hall to my room only to find that a child had v*d all the way down the hall and I could hear him in the bathroom. To top that, a school which is part of my county district has had 125 students out of 400 out with a sv*. They decided not to close the school because no teachers have come down with it. Yet! I am so-o-o nervous. Last night I hardly ate a thing and I had a panic attack. It has been really hard to get through the day. I have asked the kids all day long how they are feeling and I gave them a lesson in handwashing and not putting their fingers in their mouths. I don't know how I will survive this week, let alone staying in this school until December 21. Ijust need some encouragement. Thanks. Kim
