Any other (teachers) sick?

Hi ladies, I have been so sick this week. After a few years at 2nd, I'm teaching Preschool this year and I feel as if I've been sick since I started. I then had tutoring with 2-4th grade (boy do I miss them!!!) and found myself yelling the whole time :(

I have no voice and a cough and just feel achy.

While I am not a teacher...just wanted you to know in college I worked in the mall at Discoery Zone and I had illnesses i had never had before and have never had since then...pink eye, strep throat everything......thats the one downfall of working with kids, but everything else is well worth it.

I student taught for 2nd, k and 6th. I was never so sick in my life as i was went i taught the little ones. I found out towards the end that if you take econasia (don't know how to spell it) it really keeps you from getting sick. I used it the rest of the time and never got sick again. You can get it at GNC or even the supermarket. Good luck.

I did preschool as a TA one summer and we went to Discovery Zone, where I spent AGES in one of those ball pools, which are supposed to be CRAWLING with germs.

I am out of the classroom this year so hopefully I will stay healthier. Though I think you do build up immunity after a while. So many of my kids used to come to school sick!

I lost my voice the second week of school and was extremely sick. It's tough getting back into the swing of things once we've been off the whole summer.
