LOL, love the totally bizarre anti-testing vibe.  So, don't do something that it's completely optional and won't impact you in any way if someone else opts in?  Why on earth anyone should care at all if a parent wants to opt in?

Let's do away with masks and quarantining even if positive while we're at it.  Down with vax too, amiright?[/quote]

It does affect other kids.  See Georgetown Prep, which is going remote for non-sick, asymptomatic kids.  If a kid is sick (with actual symptoms), they shouldn't go to school.  But otherwise, they should be in school.  Same mitigation method we've had with every virus pre-COVID.

COVID will be here forever. Does disrupting kids' education for something that will be here the rest of our lives make any sense, especially when such rules don't apply to adults? No.

And definitely down with masks b/c otherwise you're saying you want kids to mask forever since COVID will be here forever.  The true anti-vaxxers are the people wanting kids to do these mitigation methods and vaccinated adults too - the message they're sending is "get vaccinated, but you'll never be able to act like vaccines work."[/quote]

This is such a weird take. If a kid tests positive for covid, they are “sick” with covid whether they have symptoms or not, and can transmit the virus to other kids and teachers. You are acting like covid is only transmissible when the infected person has symptoms, but that isn’t so, and in fact the virus is most transmissible before an infected person shows symptoms.
