If you're sick with a cold or the chicken pox, you stay home. When you break your leg, you stay home until you're mobile. Why is mental health any different?

Per the article, it seems they want to designate it so that kids (and parents) can have more days while also keeping a perfect attendance record.

The idea of praising people for "perfect attendance" needs to go away. Even if you're exempting sick days from those stats, when I see someone who never missed a day, I think that's someone who can't get caught up quickly for a day or two missed. That's not a good thing.
