[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid in public and a kid in private. Privates will be open for in person learning and are using all the resources of testing to do so. Why shouldn’t public do the same. Now with the school delay to 1/5 both go back one day apart and both will be tested. Why should there be a stark difference in the COVID approach between public and private? [/quote]

Because public schools don’t have the financial resources that private schools do? They rely on the 20% asymptomatic testing using saliva (which is a whole other crazy thing, why not do the nasal swabs which are quicker cleaner and not invasive!) that the Mayor and City Council has authorized? Because they can’t force kids to test and people opt out? Because people send their kids to school even when they’re supposed to be quarantined? You realize that none of this is the discretion of an individual school in public right? There is a huge unwieldy bureaucracy that dictates what happens in public schools, and you might as well ask why private schools are able to provide any of the other resources they do for $50K tuition per year. 🙄[/quote]
