I know people who have done this.

I don’t know why I’m afraid. It’s not illegal right?

I mean yes, it is, and the dose for under 12 is smaller than the current dose for 12 and up, probably for good reason. But if you want to do it just do it. You won’t be alone. Yes it is illegal to falsify your kids birth date to obtain a medical treatment that is not FDA approved for them, and if there is an adverse event you will be on the news. But there probably won’t be, and it’s your child and your life so talk to your kid, make sure they know to give a different birth date when asked, and do it.

And possibly in prison.

I wouldn't care if it was an option, but I have zero trust that this kind of talk isn't just a ruse to make school remote for all. The OP is probably some depraved WTU member who thinks parents are looking for "free daycare" instead of wanting their childing to get an education and develop socially and emotionally.

I'm the PP, not the OP and I'm the parent of two kids who did really well with distance learning. Probably because they didn't have to put up with your kids being in the same room as them.

School wasn't remote for all by the end of last year. It was by choice, at least where my kids went to school.

There is a reason school has been mandatory for a century. Not all parents make the best choices for their kids.

Also, why should tax dollars be spent on this inferior form of schooling for anyone but those kids with serious medical issues that are proven to put them at high risk for Covid? You can homeschool if it’s just about your comfort zone.

Where's your source that it's inferior for all kids? That's just your belief.

For the vast majority of kids. Any education expert will tell you that. And there will be plenty of additional studies once the data of the past year is processed.

It will be obscene what’s been lost when the data is fully known.

DP. It was remote for all for the first half of the year, and after that it was still remote for most against their will. Those who did get in person mostly got very part time instruction. Your kids are part of a small minority if they did really well with DL (according to your judgment). How old are they?

And why do you feel the need to throw in that nasty comment about PP’s kids? Reflects very poorly on you.

well, we could start with the fact that there are many thousands of kids in DC that received NO education in DC this year because they logged on less than 10 times all year.

But hey, as long as your kid did well in their pod!

What if a kid lands in the hospital due to an adverse reaction, and then it turns out their parents lied about their age in order to obtain a treatment not authorized for them? Seems like this would at least be a case for CPS.

Agree. Seems a lot like child endangerment to me. Also, what kind of psycho parent sits down their 11 year old to tell them to lie about their age to get a vax that is authorized only on an EUA basis?

And are any kids actually sick that you know of?

Is no one concerned about the long term effects of COVID on their kids? Especially the unknown affects it might have on developing lungs and brains, that might not present until later in life? Sure, an infection now may be asymptomatic at best and an inconvenience at most. But I still don’t want my child to get it. I want to send my child back to school this fall. But as a PP mentioned, I’m less concerned with teachers and more concerned with the parents who send their sick child to school.

“Although kids tend not to be so badly affected by COVID-19 and often have asymptomatic or mild cases, we are seeing kids who have decreased exercise tolerance, joint pain, fatigue, and brain fog after COVID-19 infection,” says Katharine Clouser, M.D., a pediatric hospital medicine specialist at Hackensack Meridian Children’s Health.

Although it is not yet clear how many children in the U.S. have been affected by this “long-COVID” syndrome, studies show that up to 40 percent of children in Italy and approximately 15-20 percent of children in England are experiencing “long-haul” COVID-19 symptoms.”

The risk of an 11 year old going to the hospital with COVID are higher than the virtually nonexistent risk of an adverse vaccine event.

DCPS is going to be in for a rude awakening. Simply mandating kids to return to school isn’t going to result in kids returning to school. Black, Latino families still do not trust DCPS to protect their children. The school facilities are not up to par and they don’t have well funded PTOs to fill in those gaps. The vaccination rate for kids over 12 in Wards 7 and 8 is something like 8%. And DCPS’s reopening plan has kids eating altogether in the cafeteria?

It’s amazing how comfortable supposedly science minded people are to make medical proclamations based on absolutely zero data.

Maybe. But there was also a study that showed that trust in the safety of schools is heavily dependent on their reopening status. The fact that schools are closed alone made parents (especially among the demographics you mention) more wary of their safety.
