To clarify, I think the sick day policy of Ramona’s era was so much more sensible and wish it had still been around when I was a kid.

We spread so many germs around at school. Some winters more than 1/3 of the total student body would miss school certain days because of how many different illnesses were spreading everywhere. 🤒

It would have been so much healthier for the sick ones to just stay home to do assignments and keep our germs to ourselves.
