Yep, School is Back in Session and So Are Colds

Here's a must read for parents and teachers:

Children catch about eight colds a year. Combined, they lose nearly 22
million school days due to the common cold alone. With so many children in one
place and sharing supplies, it's no wonder that the classroom can be a breeding
ground for the germs that cause cold and flus. Odds are your child will be
bringing home more than homework this school year.

Even teachers say more needs to be done to make our classrooms cleaner and
healthier for children. A whopping 92% of teachers say that regular disinfecting
in classrooms can result in fewer absences caused by illness and 96% of them
believe more can be done to make classrooms cleaner and healthier places for our
children, according to a survey presented at a news briefing by the American
Medical Association.
