Dear Mr. Neild,
Upon recognizing that I am under your administration by last name, I thought it most fitting to come to you about my question, or rather, needed advice. I am a senior who is exhaustingly ill, so I pose the question: should I remain home and do my best in resting away my sickness while also doing my best in keeping up with my homework while home-bound, or should I run the risk of not only infecting other students with a violent cough and simultaneously stuffed and runny nose (among other flu-like symptoms) but also acquiring a series of all important absences which I will later have to make up in an (asinine) absence school session where I will still likely be ill, impeding on a large portion of my computer related, AP homework and again running the risk of spreading my symptoms to even more students? I look forward to your insight!
Thank you so much,
Kaylynn Farley
So! To my genius peers, I'm curious as to how you think our administration should handle this situation and if their response could potentially alter my trust or mistrust of their claimed intentions of supporting the well being of all students. Thank you so much guys! And I promise I will post an actual current event soon.
P.s. Yes, I am aware of my ridiculously long run-on sentence. I'm secretly hoping he'll get lost in it a couple times and have to re-read and eventually understand my plight throuroughly :)
I think you should cough on the administrators.

Ethan . . .you are hilarious. I love it. I actually have a lot of insight on this subject. My family has had extreme health issues with my older brother and with my younger sister now. How should the school handle it? They need to work with you in compromising. I don't think they should make you come to school. That's not correct in any way. You getting other students sick is not good, and you will also only make yourself more sick by going to school. I think that they should establish some sort of "check-up" with you so that they can see you are making progress in your classes, be it on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, and then you can rest up and try to recover, as well as staying on top (and progressing) of your school work. That is how I would do it.
ReplyDeleteThis issue all comes back to the government forcing people to go to school. I don't think the government should force you to go to school. I think that high school should be more like college. You don't have to come to class, but you will still be graded on completing all assignments whether in class or not. This is a very interesting dilemma posed though.
ReplyDeleteI think that they should let you bring your homework and schoolwork home and be able to do it there with the power of the interweb. If they don't come up with any compromise and refuse to work something out, it would good to get the district involved.
