Antibiotics, first used in the 1940s, are certainly one of the great advances in medicine. But overprescribing them has resulted in the development of bacteria that don't respond to antibiotics that may have worked in the past. Plus, kids who take antibiotics when they aren't necessary run the risk of adverse reactions, such as stomach upset and diarrhea.

I'd prefer that the schools spent more time worrying about the cleaning, and less time worrying about sticking their nose where it doesn't belong.
