| Kids go to school with covid, so what's the difference? Both kids and teachers go to school sick (covid, colds, flu, etc.). |
| This! Your child could get sick from a peer too, not just the teacher |
| We don't test anymore. You can't kids life afraid of one virus. It's a damn virus. You'll never rid it or hide effectively from it as long as you're not a hermit! Doesn't matter your age! |

The replies here are disturbing. If you're position a rapid test, you're contagious.
Despite the majority of people being in total denial at this point, covid is far more harmful than the flu or a cold, and it's also far more contagious. It's a biohazard level 3. Would you also like your children to be exposed to tuberculosis at school? Each infection is a roll of the dice vs long covid. How many times are you going to let your kids be exposed to this virus? How many kids need to have lasting damage before we start being smart about clean air and staying home while sick? |
There’s another active thread right now criticizing “absentee” teachers for taking leave. We really can’t win. Should we stay home and protect the kids, or come in and teach them? (Does what WE need even matter?) |
If and when governmentally funded covid leave is provided, I’ll support staying home for 5-10 days when nominally sick. Until then, I support teachers (and parents) not losing their jobs. |
Wow. You still havent recovered psychologically yet have you? You gotta keep this whole schtick going. |
What is biohazard level 3? |
Completely made up BS. The delusions of the basement dweller. |
Yep. Where do you think she got it? I catch something once a month practically. I’m not burning my sick leave unless forced. I prefer to save sick leave for mental health days. |
OR. Or…… Don’t have your child bear the brunt of keeping Grammy alive. The MIL can wear a mask full time just like kids were forced to do in schools. She is the grown up with health issues, for the love of god let the child have a carefree existence without the guilt that she will kill her grandmother by going to school. |
SARS-CoV-2 is a biohazard safety level three (BSL-3) pathogen--like tuberculosis Adults in BSL-3 laboratories are required to have a number of protections we don't give to children's BSL-3 classrooms https://www.criver.com/eureka/what-bsl-3-lab https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosafety_level |
| No absolutely not. You need to stay home at least 2 months. Especially for pre-school. This is very widely known, |
| As long as the teacher has been fever free for 24 hours and isn't hacking and coughing or something like that, then I would be fine with her going back in. Fact is, she probably got it from one of the kids, so they've all been exposed already, and you know none of those kids are going to be kept home longer than necessary. |
Still have to mask up if you leave isolation. |
