Arav's not being going to school due to health problems, when he completely recovered the swine flu pandemic had started and school shut down for a few days. After that his attendance has dipped even more since school authorities are sending back children with cold or cough.

We are half hour drive away from his school which becomes an hour's drive easily with horrible traffic conditions. So sending him with a cough or cold did not make sense. Normal attendance in his school also seems to be affected because of the flu breakout.
