text: Have you ever gotten sick and had to stay home from school? Maybe you've had to stay out of school for more than a couple of days before. Most people would think that this wouldn't be a problem; you stay home for a while and then come back to school and get back to business as usual without any trouble. But in reality, that's not what happens. Missing a day of school for any reason is a lot worse than most people would think.
