[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Outside observer: seems like it’s the parents who are trying to shut up the worried ones who are the problem. I’d be pissed about this incident at my school. I hate when parents love to boost their school and tell questioners to shut up, sit down. We are all entitled to question our school’s choices and to be asking lots of extra questions right now during covid. We are owed transparency and they need to be straight with us what’s going on. If personnel are positive we need to know.

So yes, there is a we, it goes beyond ITS. [/quote]

I can appreciate feeling that prickly response.  On the flip side, it's frustrating for someone who is willing to extend trust to feel like we're only here as boosters without the ability to think critically.  In this online forum it's likely easier to these issues as black and white when I think a lot of people have a more nuanced opinion that gets thrown out/ignored by people at the ends of the spectrum. (or, who don't bother engaging because they feel like they will get lumped in with one side or another when a lot of us don't see sides to this.) [/quote]

I am willing to believe that the school followed the guidance and is doing its best to keep the kids safe.  There's no lack of trust, from me.  But there is a lack of transparency from the school.  If there really was an outbreak among guidance-compliant adults with a 90% vaccination rate despite the school not doing anything wrong, that's extremely distressing, so I'm skeptical that it's true.  But as the hours tick by with no update from the school, I'm starting to wonder.  If the PCR tests haven't come back yet, how do they even know they'll be able to staff the school tomorrow?[/quote]
