Oh my gosh I hope this is true!

Despite this, unfortunately, our Fairfax school has tightened restrictions.

Yes, let's phase it out. It's time. Keep kids home when sick, otherwise let's move forward.

Our LS wasn’t testing but MS was and is because all MS kids play sports and it’s a league rule that athletes have to be tested.

Hopefully all schools stop testing soon. Such a waste.

+1. It would be amazing if we could drop the anxiety around the weekly test and just go back to normalcy. Are schools considering this?

Does anyone else feel like lately there has been one Loudon County RWNJ mom replying to her owns posts over and over again on this forum? I feel like I’m the last month or so there has been a spike in posts that are just bananas. These Youngkin people are absolute toddlers with their fear of testing, shots and masks. Wouldn’t it be great if they were only getting each other sick?

Haha.

I was wondering the same thing.
All of a sudden the frequency of anti-masker, vaxxer and tester opinions increased on the forum, during omicron oddly.
Good call about someone creating their own echo chamber.

-1. The data has changed. Parents that were concerned about Covid have gotten their kids vaxed and would like to move on. Covid just isn’t as impactful as it used to be and we’d like the schools policies to reflect that. You don’t need to be from VA to understand that DC needs to update policies and move forward with life.

Don't you understand that decision makers are making choices based on the data? When Omicron hit and everyones' numbers went up, they found a way to try to control the spread in schools; now that the peak is passed, they are responding to the new data and the new situation and adjusting accordingly.

Honestly some of you act like the world is focused on just you and scheming how best to annoy you.
