There are several nasty viruses including covid, Flu and RSV as well as others. A virus lasts 10 to 14 days and can be longer if severe, and sometimes people get more than one in a year. This has happened to my child more than once in past years. So far she has only missed one day this entire school year, but if she gets sick like she has in past years multiple times with bad viruses it will cause hardship. People are more cautious about sending kids ro school sick too since Covid which is a good thing for the community, the other kids and staff. This is something we can’t control and should be taken into account also.

Most likely it’s a family culture that doesn’t prioritize education.

I think LCS needs to stop insulting us and take credit for what they have produced.

How does everyone feel about School Choice now?
