In my school, getting sick is the basically the equivalent of dying. No joke, no one in my school wants to get sick. Even if you do get sick, you will still come to school. No one is going to tell you to go home because we all know it would be hypocritical to say so.

Nearly everyone in my school is sick. People coming in and out with masks and I am just here like... am i next. This is scaring me. why? I got tests coming up and i don't want to deal with retakes. not to mention the homework we are going to have to make up. 

This probably wouldn't be so much of a big deal if the sick people went home and actually rested properly...

but no. sighs. the joys of going to a school known for the reputation of being the smart kids school. (you think i would be lying but i'm not. we are that school where during our lunch breaks we study instead of socializing and when people are on their phones during class it is because they are studying for tests for other classes)

speaking of which, since my school is intense, so many of us are sleep deprived. my last class of the day, i was so sleepy and some of my classmates fell asleep. my teacher saw them. she woke them up and then just moved on with the lecture.

she didn't berate them for falling asleep. she just simply woke them up, allowed them time to get their heads off the desk and then continued with the lecture. that is respect and i wish all teachers were like that.
