<p>Do you?</p>
<p>The dilemma is: Do you suffer through the day, get all your assignments so atleast you can do them, or, stay at home and have double the homework to do next week.</p>
<p>We're not talking about rabies here, just a regular cold. IE: Runny nose, mild cough, and sore throat.</p>
<p>I always go to school, unless I’m sick enough to the point that I hurl every half an hour or something. It’s much more of a hassle to catch up on assignments and relearn the material, etc.</p>
<p>Having a contagious disease is an exception, of course.</p>
<p>Yeah, it is a huge pain in the butt getting the material, the homework, doing the classwork, etc…</p>
<p>Wish I played sick more often when I was younger and school didn’t matter as much…</p>
<p>With a regular cold? No, I would probably go to school. If I had some sort of stomach virus, then there’s no question that I would stay home, drink Coca Cola, and watch TV :)</p>
<p>If it’s a mild cold, I will stay home from second and third bell (I have no first bell anyway) because I don’t learn anything in those classes and I hate them. They are the definition of pointlessness.</p>
<p>I go to school unless I am physically unable to walk to school. That’s my test…if I can’t walk to school, I don’t go.</p>
<p>Yeah, of course I go.</p>
<p>I have to go. My parents will only excuse me if I’m either vomiting all over, having a heart attack, or riddled with buckshot. And the former is a maybe.</p>
<p>No. I’d miss school.</p>
<p>Then again, I miss school even when I’m perfectly healthy, physically atleast.</p>
<p>I skip school when I’m super stressed out or have gotten no sleep for a few days in a row, and I know I’m not going to miss much in class.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, but then you’d acquire the bad habit.</p>
<p>I stay home</p>
<p>I agree with hilsa, I stay home even when I’m perfectly healthy. Sometimes I just need a day off, or I have too much to get done in one night.</p>
<p>I do the half-day trick where I go to school half-a-day, tell my teacher I’m feeling sick around 2nd period and leave.</p>
<p>No, but there were times when I have went to school with a runny nose. I’m more than likely to attend school if I just have a runny nose, though a bad cough… sore throat etc… I would try to stay home.</p>
<p>i usually go to school, i think i’m going to make an exception for tomorrow though</p>
<p>what’s philsophy</p>
<p>If I have a sore throat and feel that I could not concentrate by going to school, I stay home. With any fever at all I have to stay home. My parents feel that it is irresponsible to go to school if you are the least bit contagious, and I agree. I don’t want to get other people sick.</p>
<p>My school has a rule that if you miss more that ten minutes of school (without a doctor’s note) you are not allowed to participate in after school activities (i.e. sports…even a game, theater, music, sci olympiad, etc.) This rule, while good in theory, causes lots of girls to come to school sick, which makes everyone else sick.</p>
<p>AHAHAHA, no. And sometimes I don’t go to school even when I’m not sick.</p>
<p>I don’t get sick, but i miss school.</p>
<p>I was banned from school once for being sick. I had a 100+ temperature, but my mom’s an education-nazi so she made me go to school.</p>
