[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These parents who knowingly send their kids to school with COVID should be held liable. Nearly impossible to prove but we have two families who admitted to it. [/quote]

Teacher here. I had 3 kids in my class. 1 seemed very lethargic and was hot to the touch, the other two had headaches and were coughing non-stop. I switched to my N-95 on after they arrived in my classroom and rang the nurse. She took them. The lethargic child came back to class at 10 am and went to sleep. His mask was not on well as he was sleeping on the desk. One came back at 11 am saying she just needed water. One went home at 1:25 pm. I sent the cougher that stayed in class back to the nurse as she was crying from her head hurting. When the one who was sleeping woke up, he started crying because he did not feel well and wanted his Mom. That one stayed all day, even after I called and emailed Mom what was going on. She responded curtly at 4:35 pm that I did not keep her son from getting sick and she did not know how she was going to manage work or coverage for him! The second crying child's Mom was called but she stayed all day and went home by bus because Mom did not come and get her. All 3 tested positive that night. This happens 2-3 times a week!!![/quote]

2nd grade teacher in Downcounty here. I could've written this myself. I caught covid after this kid with covid threw up over and through his mask all over the place as I came down sick the right amount of days after exposure. I had anxiety but so not care anymore. I pop pills like every other teacher I know and show up to do my job and go home. I am seriously looking for a new career. This cannot be sustained long-term.  Every time I think it is over, it is another strain attacking and causing chaos.[/quote]
Three kids came in sick to my class last week and all tested positive. The parents knew they were sick and chose to send them in anyway. Four adults in my classroom are now positive so the few students who didn’t get sick have had a revolving cast of substitutes. This is the parents’ fault. Some of them don’t even work, but felt they were entitled to a break from their child even though they were coughing. During a pandemic. I’m absolutely done. [/quote]
