Nice way to treat someone who is taking care of your kids when you don't want to for free.

No need to be rude but also it’s not “free” and they are not taking care of my kids they are teaching them. So tired of these types of comments

I’ll be rude. DP. I pay tens of thousands in county, state and property taxes and school is NOT free. And if you are babysitting my high schooler, you need to be fired. He is there for an education.
Covid wasn’t meant to last forever and now you will have to act like every other parent that works.

Sweetheart, only a tiny fraction of your “tens of thousands of dollars in taxes” (and only the property taxes) go directly to public schools. It wouldn’t cover a month or two of five-days-a-week childcare/places with adult supervision to watch your kid, let alone 180 days.

Get over yourself.

Half the MoCo budget goes to MCPS.

MCPS: Negotiations to Restore Covid-19 Leave Benefit Underway, Announcement Expected Soon

I’m the OP and here is an update. My kid’s PCR test was “processing” until I got a text from the state of Maryland that she is positive for COVID. My PCR yesterday was negative and rapid tests are still negative. I don’t have a fever anymore but a small cough, fatigue, body aches, runny nose and very sore lymph nodes on my neck. My kid’s pediatrician said she could return to school on Friday (counting from the first day of her symptoms, not her PCR test). My school nurse said I can’t come back the rest of the week because I am symptomatic!!! Are we that strict with students? I am so confused about what the protocols actually are and I’m irritated I will miss BTSN the first year I’m at a new school.

I called my kid’s school to let them know and I filled out the Google Notification Form. Within an hour the principal sent a message to the entire class. I have yet to receive any notification from my school about the exposures I had. It shouldn’t be this different from school to school!

You are sick. Stay home and keep whatever germs you have (COVID or otherwise) to yourself so you don't spread them to your students and co-workers. It is crazy inconsiderate to come to work when sick and symptomatic.

Why didn’t the school alert me about a positive case in my class? Now I wonder about all the other kids that are already out sick.

Are you sure the office knew? Just because your student emailed you and told you doesn't mean that their family actually reported the case to the MCPS or the school first, unfortunately.

So, it certainly sounds like the teacher didn't get it from her class after all. Instead she got it from her kid. So it certainly doesn't seem like something she should get special covid leave for (not that anyone gets special covid leave anymore).

I don’t have a fever. If I didn’t teach every day that I feel crummy I would get fired. I don’t think people realize how often teachers are affected by kid germs.

How do we know I got it from my kid? I could have just as easily given it to her. I see over 100 kids a day in a room without air conditioning. Most are unmasked. No vax requirement. No surveillance testing. No enforcing masking upon return from COVID.

Trying to chase down where someone got covid is a fool's errand.

Your PCR was negative.

Were you masking OP?

Remember - no one cares about public health. They only care about themselves.

Somehow being too ill to work, take care of kids, or play for a week is considered no biggie. Nor are the rippling adverse impacts to family and work. Compounding weeks and weeks of illness to many people because weak willed people can’t take it anymore.

Right- it is a biggie, particularly since most people don’t get too ill to do those things.

You work for MCPS? Did you get the email from the superintendent that they are trying to reinstate COVID leave?

We all got COVID over the winter (for the second time) and we were too sick to do anything for a week.
