Recalling how much I liked sick days as a kid, and in hindsight, what it said about school. (hexbear.net)

Being sick enough typically meant spending the day laying in bed, alternately shivering and burning, drifting in and out of sleep, occasionally puking, and that was still preferable to spending the day at school.

Sometimes in elementary school we'd have to line up in alphabetical order, but it was for bureaucratic reasons. Since everything was still being done on typewriters and index cards, it was easier for stuff like picture day or health exams if we were all in alphabetical order.

It wasn't for every line, though. That's just nuts. Getting elementary school kids to line up in the first place is a hassle.
