Just wondered whats considered "average" for time of sick during a school year. Im guessing I must be very lucky because mine have only had 2 or 3 days of ill during a year (so far!), since they started school. However, my brothers kids always seem to be off. Ive always noticed on their school reports that each have around 15-17 days of ill a year. Their youngest who is 9 has only been to school twice during the past ten school days - although this time I know she has had a bad throaty coldy thing. Are some kids just more likely to get bugs than others. I can imagine have a bad year every so often but they seem to have a bad year every year. Am are being picky here or are they just unlucky.

Roughly how many days a year do your kids miss school through illness? (is there a time when school would question too much time off sick)?
