This school district thinks that telling literal children that they can't get an excused absence with a doctor's note will teach these kids 'work ethic' and 'responsibility' because 'we've all gone to work sick.' Maybe we have all worked while sick, but does that mean we should? And should we endanger the entire class by having little Tommy come in and spread flu germs around the second grade? #school #tennessee #doctorsnote #sickday #schooldistrict
