The correct answer to that question is always, "No." Unless you have no choice, for example you live inside the school and the school gate is guarded by over zealous students with thermometers (see above). They are there to prevent someone with a fever, the most obvious symptom of swine flu, into the school. And I appreciate that. But I will go to all efforts to avoid getting my temperature taken myself-- who knows what happens if you're hot.
I was also given a thermometer myself today and was told in Chinese to, "Take your temp. daily. And if it's high, go to the doctor." What I heard was slightly different: never use this thing, and if you do, guard it like a national secret. Hmm, lost in translation perhaps.
