6. I usually ask: Do you sneeze into your elbow? ?

Following that with a demonstration and saying you should really sneeze into your elbow, a sneeze can spread germs eight feet into the air. Do you want to spread germs?

This speech is done with the precision of a rapid fire scoped weapon. Meant to teach health and empathy, it is remembered and mostly respected because I drop it and walk.

Personally if I were the teacher this could be a teachable moment for so many reasons. Using this as a rule to reduce disruption in the classroom is a fair indication of the state are classrooms have descended into and that is disturbing.

Love, Peace and Shelter.
