Swine flu has been dominating headlines for the last week or so, with images of men walking around with surgical masks. While this flu scare has not hit Mississippi yet, it will surely arrive soon. As far as my classroom is concerned, when swine flu arrives, there will be no real changes. Perhaps less students will come to school, which if anything will be a nice break during the last three weeks. This is the only major problem that could occur from this flu scare: if enough students stay home, the school will become less productive. Other than this problem though, I don't foresee any major issues coming from the swine flu, except for the unlikely and pleasant possibility of school closure.
