[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the point? The other kids were already all exposed as well as the teachers. Just tell school your child has an ear infection/you are on vacation and call it a day. It doesn't actually prevent anything and instead just makes every other family struggle. And if the other kids are going to get Covid-they are going to get it regardless of having to stay out of school for 10 days.

There is literally no point to this anymore.

I get it OP (my DH said the same thing the other day!) but what if the kid is actually sick and needs to stay home? Can you really tell your daycare they have an ear infection for 5 days?  Vacation would be ok but with the laundry list if potential Covid symptoms an ear infection or something like a sprained ankle is the only thing you can use for an absence for illness.  It’s also harder if you have a verbal kid who feels the need to share everything with their teachers/classmates.  The problem is ridiculous policies that encourage parents to lie.[/quote]
