Some students in Burlington County are being kept home from school due to fears stemming from the Ebola outbreak.
A message on the Maple Shade School District's website says students who have spent time in an unspecified part of eastern Africa were scheduled to begin classes in the district today.

Yep. I think it's crazy to keep kids home because others in the school went to a place where there have been no cases of Ebola during the ongoing outbreak, and a place that is over 2,500 miles from an Ebola outbreak.
The U.S. is farther away, yet we have Ebola infections here.
We do. Should we all keep our kids home? After all, all of the other kids in school have been to a country where there have been Ebola infections.
I don’t blame the parents one bit for keeping their kids home.
But why? Why keep kids home because they visited a country that happens to be on the same continent as an Ebola outbreak, but is thousands of miles away?
But nothing is slowing down the democrats who are going to grant amnesty
To millions soon.
How many dead do we need?
Will look into it for you. Just assumed everyone had seen the news.
Was in Uganda. Marburg confirmed in a health care worker who died. Do a search for Uganda and Marburg in the news area of google. My android has brain dead copy and paste features.
I’m trying to understand the reasoning.
More people hospitalized in Turkey, suspected having Ebola
quote: "One of the hospitalized is a Turkish student who studies in Somalia and returned to his homeland, and the rest returned from the Hajj in Saudi Arabia."

Thanks for the ping!
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

I was waiting for news of ebola in Somalia. They are not known for having great hygiene habits (landlords dread them as renters!) and seem to travel between Minnesota and Somalia frequently. They have quickly grown to about 20% of the population of our small rural city. I dread what could happen if they bring the disease here.
