Please pray for the children to have better days at school! All have been suffering and sent home with either a cough, or a fever, or an upset ('funny feeling' according to the children) type of stomach issue, or sticky eyes, or headaches, or very alarming emotional breakdowns, flushed skin, and more. For several weeks now, it's been one thing after another constantly and involving every child in our family. The 3, 5, 10, 11, and 16 year old one by one or sometimes more than one at a time has had to be picked up from school and brought home and many times the school demands a doctor's release note before any kids in this district can return, plus they have to be cough, fever, runny nose free for 36 hours before even being considered. On top of that, Texas will drag parents to court for truancy if the children have more than a few absences per semester. They give awards for 'perfect attendance' (absolutely no absence) but demand kids be sent home and kept home for anything more than a runny nose or sniffles. Parents having to miss work, find babysitters, take children to absolutely unnecessary doctor visits that are traumatic for them. Kids these days are under so much PRESSURE! It's disturbing. This isn't China, it's America.
