Myron's school visit

Yesterday I visited my old high school and to find out bad news. Peoria High’s Mr. Simmons picks up the microphone and says, “We have 186 students out today because of the flu. I’m concerned and worried about their health. I stepped back and left out. Now my friends and family go to that school so I became very worried. I hate to have kids out of school because school attendance gives a good look to your jobs. But still with school work being held back makes our students not learn as much. We already in the hole for slow learners and don’t need more. But my thought is that maybe out of those 186 students about 80 is faking it. I mean I went to Peoria High for four years and I played that game once or twice, maybe 3 times. But I saw my old principle face just sink in. I never saw his face like that. The halls were much emptier than last year. I knew something was wrong with this year. In school was super empty and quite. I was like man am I’m the only one here. Kids were actually in class instead of halls for the first time. I bet the teachers were much surprised and sadden by absent students. I see no changes done in the teacher’s act. They still teach the same which is great. I love the teaching method they teach in because it’s more comprehending than others around Peoria. Over all I saw my old second home for the first time since class of “09”.
