Is the pollen outside affecting your daily activities? The
pollen has been increasingly covering all areas of the southeast, leaving our
cars completely yellow. Those with strong reactions to allergies have
found it difficult to get out of bed to get to work and school.
An article on Washington Post titled “Allergies can affect kids’
grades” stresses how there is truth to how pollen can affect your study habits.
The article explains that students taking exams during the winter months
performed higher than spring months due to allergies. Also, students are
staying home from school because of how they are feeling due to
allergies.
Another article titled “Can Allergies Affect Your Child’s School
Performance” gives more detail about the relationship between allergies and
school performance. The article also gives tips for how to communicate
your child’s allergies during the spring months so that the student’s grades do
not suffer.
I know these articles mostly pertain to young children but they
also can relate to you. Wash your hands, take care of yourself, and
continue to push through your courses so you do not fall behind. Spring
break for your online classes is right around the corner!
