Should You Stay Home When You're Sick?
What should you do when you're sick?

Carl and John work at the same company.
Their daughters are classmates in junior high school.

Carl thinks his daughter should be in school every day.
On the other hand, John thinks it's OK for his daughter to stay home if she is sick.

Sarah told me that your daughter missed (= fail attend) three days of school last week.

Is everything OK?
everything is ok.

Tammy was running a fever for a few days, so she stayed home from school.

But she is better now.
Was it a high fever?

No, it was around 38 degrees Celsius.
But we thought it was better for her to stay home and rest.

Are you sure that was the best decision?
It's important for students to be in school.
Otherwise, they really get behind.

It's not a big deal for Tammy to miss a few days of class.
She wouldn't have been able to concentrate anyway.

That doesn't mean she shouldn't be in school.
School attendance is really important.
You don't want her to get in the habit of skipping class for every little thing.
