I'm not even through two months of teaching and already I'm home sick. My throat was killing me yesterday, and then at about 12am, I was really feeling like I was getting strep. So I'm staying home to see a doctor. Although now my throat doesn't feel as bad- maybe I should've gone in! UGGGHHH
I know that i have a disadvantage over other teachers- not only being in my first year so I'm bound to get sick alot more easily since the immune system isn't used to all these germs....but since I'm the music teacher in an elementary school I see every single kid and I get every single germ that passes through. Not to mention, these kids are touching instruments, I'm touching them...God only knows where their hands have been. Sorry TMI!! haha
So...first year and former first year teachers...how often did you call out sick? Should I even feel this guilty?

Re: NWR: 1st yr teacher already home sick! :(
this used to happend to me too! DEF try AIRBORNE in the mornings and keep HAND SANITIZER at your desk. Sanitize your hands frequently and I even use Lysol disinfectant to spray down door handles and doorknons at least once a week! Good luck and feel better!
