Is it inconsiderate to choose to still go to school when you have the flu?

[AFB]

Is it?

 

[Sundog]

Yes....stay home.

 

[amol]

yeah unless you HAVE to go to school (in which case, stay away from everyone else)

 

[notfred]

Sort of, but your professors probably don't care so you might have to go anyway if there's something important happening.

If you have the flu and come you suck.

However, with colds it is usually OK to come.

 

[jagec]

As long as you sit away from everyone else and stay quiet, not a problem. If you're constantly hacking and blowing your nose, that's annoying.

according to my mom its a sin to stay home from school unless you're being transported to the morgue

/looks at all his perfect attendance trophies

because colds dont spread?

I'd go unless I'm constantly chain coughing. Then I'd not only get others sick much easily, I'd disrupt the class.

Hacking and sniffling is one thing. Fever and vomiting is another.

Yes, absolutely. I would even say heartless. That thing is no joke. I contracted it from some lady who was supposed to be recovering from it. For the first time ever in my life ... going a week without eating, missing one week of classes, pounding headache and resting all the time because I was too weak to even get up to eat. I only managed to drink water. Luckily, I haven't had to deal with the flu again. And I hope that my immune system is strong enough with the help of Zinc.

Don't be a wuss... go to school.

The heck with the other students.

Oh, you don't go to my school do you?

As long as it won't impact your grade directly by being absent, stay home or call the prof and see what you can work out. No reason to make anyone else miserable
I know misery loves company, but please don't follow that advice
