Middle School Teachers: How Often Do You Get Sick in a School Year?

I currently work in elementary, and since the school year started, I’ve already been sick four times—about once a month. Most recently, I caught Influenza A, and it’s making me wonder if middle school might be a better option to avoid getting sick as often.

For those of you teaching middle school, how frequently do you find yourself getting sick throughout the school year? Would love to hear your experiences. Thanks!
