Today is my first day back after an 8 week (off-track) vacation. I couldn’t have been in the main building for 4 minutes before my first sneeze (not a good sign). My classroom was in order except for a printer with no cables connected. Two hours later the internet went down and I had to “kick it old school” and have the attendance office print a roster for me and call roll—which I loathe, preferring to take attendance silently with a seating chart.
Back to this cough, cough, sneeze-sneeze thing. Today, though teaching Life Skills, we read a flyer from the LA County Health Department on H1N1 flu. Of the 200+ students I will have today, perhaps, 20-30 (or more) have no health insurance. We have a community clinic on campus-- a rarity-- and I expect them to get a bit of action as we get into the classic Nov-January flu season.
Until then, cover that sneeze and pass the hand sanitizer.
