+100. Between the pumpkin mom and the Covid notifications person, you have this relatively very tiny cohort of overly anxious sensationalizing panickers who are completely unhinged from reality and seem to obtain some odd gratification in their self-induced and baseless panic.

There's a whole lot of braggadocio going on considering the school tested only 1.8% of students. The concern raised by parents is that there isn't adequate testing happening to identify and contain covid, which can lead to widespread cases. But feel free to boast if the cases remain low! We'll be happy too because safety is the goal.

Whatever. Identical situation at my Ward 3 elementary, and needless to say, it's not the kind of parent problem, or the kind of parent that CPS will get near.

Same poster, and it certainly is a DCPS problem. DCPS promised symptomatic testing. DCPS is not testing the tweet child, after placing that child in a - covid isolation room - two consecutive days.

this kind of rumor-spreading targeting individually identifiable children is *exactly* why some of us were asking for this thread to be deleted or closely moderated. what do you want, to go to the school and throw the kid out based on a rumor he’s sick and hasn’t been tested? this vigilantism is why DCPS is careful about how it releases data. if you need to know the identity of every kid with the sniffles to feel safe, homeschool.

I am closely monitoring this thread so I am a little surprised by this response. What "individually identifiable" information has been posted about a child?

PP who linked tweet. Of course none. The PP so worried about rumors is worried that well-to-do families whose farts don't smell won't be able to let their kid head to a covid isolation room several consecutive days without being tested. They don't want parents to communicate at all, whether it's anonymously about anonymous children here, or in private or open communication streams.

I don’t think teachers should be spreading rumors about individually identifiable kids on social media. if you don’t understand the potential privacy breach, all the more reason you should be limited to the official DCPS information.

Can you tell me which school this involves? I honestly cannot tell. I am also very skeptical that anyone is going to devote the effort to trying to find out.

I’m sure I could figure out who that teacher is, and I’m sure his colleagues know. It doesn’t take much. On the flip side, people will also mistakenly think any child sleeping in the isolation room is this child. And since dude is anonymous maybe he’s just making it all up anyway. Total trash information meant to smear DCPS and scare people. (How does the teacher even know the kid wasnt tested?)

So, basically, you cannot identify any "individually identifiable" information in the tweet and you suspect the entire thing could be made up. I appreciate your privacy concerns. But, I don't think you have a valid concern in this instance. Moreover, your continued posts about your concerns are disrupting this thread. So, since you have had an opportunity to make your point, I would appreciate your moving on.

DP: Well, I for one have empathy. I wouldn't want my kid tweeted about like this. Therefore, I wouldn't want anyone else's kid tweeted about like this.

Whatever. Identical situation at my Ward 3 elementary, and needless to say, it's not the kind of parent problem, or the kind of parent that CPS will get near.

Same poster, and it certainly is a DCPS problem. DCPS promised symptomatic testing. DCPS is not testing the tweet child, after placing that child in a - covid isolation room - two consecutive days.

I sent a child to the nurse today for multiple symptoms. Child returned saying nurse was closed today. Sent to office. Child returned to class. Child said the office said they would call when the parent arrived. Whether parent arrived before or after unmasked lunch I don’t know. I do know the kids around this child weren’t wearing their mask correctly or at all most of the morning.

Teachers sent both my children to the nurse yesterday. One has allergies; one is taking medicine that makes him feel bad. Both had Covid this summer. Oh well.

I think as the parent it's helpful to let teachers know if your child has allergies, or is recovering from a cold and tested negative for COVID. In pre-service we were instructed to send students to the nurse if they exhibit xyz symptoms. A quick email to the teacher can prevent you from getting a phone call in the future.

I did tell their homeroom teachers, but other teachers did the sending.

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE ahem. How is it *possible* that DCPS doesn’t have the ability to test kids like this with symptoms.

For real.

What kind of joke testing plan is this?!?!??

I just looked at the Reopen Strong COVID updates and it seems that there are a lot of reported positives given that school has only been in session less than two weeks and very little testing is happening. Am I wrong?

You’re wrong. It’s much lower than what other districts have seen their first two weeks. Many places also don’t have testing at all in schools and still turned up several hundreds of cases the first week alone. Importantly, there is not yet any indication of school spread. In other words, these are all cases that would’ve happened regardless of school being in person

At Johnson middle school the whole sixth grade class is quarantining due to covid exposure.
