Shouldn't EVERYONE be entitled to this? Students and teachers alike? These days benefit everyone. Right now, students can have up to 20 unexcused absences before they (potentially) lose credit. 20 is a lot. Yes, COVID is a wildcard that was not around when the statute outlining the 20 days was written. Teachers on the other hand have sick days that, again by statute, can only be used if the teacher is sick and, again by statute, the local admin can require a note for each sick day used. If fact, the statute that gives teachers sick days is more restrictive than the statute giving any NJ worker earned sick leave.

The "mental health day" should be a recognized "excuse" for being out. This would allow students to not have it affect their 20 day limit and teachers not have to seek out a doctor. Let the mental health day be for everyone equally.

i've been on a search for good bbq in jersey, and it's pretty sad up here. the best spot i've had within a half hour drive of you is Bailey's in Blauvelt NY. Bomb up 287 and it's right by the Palisades Mall.

i still think i make the best ribs around over in Caldwell...I've had people begging me to start selling them lol

shit fucked me up hardcore back in the day. only like 1/3 of people get the bullseye rash, and ticks usually bite where you can't notice them.

also the standard generic "western blot" test that most dr's give is trash....i tested negative like 3x. u gotta get ur serum sent out to special labs and see what bands you have on the spectrum

That just means they're closed this week(end). They're always closed Sunday and Monday. Great Texas style BBQ. Their sauce is a bit too sweet but since he knows how to smoke, you don't need sauce. They were open today when I drove by. He's a Longhorn so kinda frail, could just be a bit too cold. ;) l"l' 'l"l Boomer Sooner!
