      Really sums it up tbh. No one gets through school without needing a sick day, but they offer children a worthless piece of paper for being obedient enough to risk everyone else’s health.

        Dont know about other kids, but seems like I had strep throat and conjunctivitis at least twice a year. Thankfully I did NOT have perfect attendance.

        Maybe its an award for children with especially strong immune systems? Cool.

        It’s fairly common in the US to have award ceremonies at the end of the school year, and perfect attendance is an award that’s usually given.
