[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m PP. Who’s doctor is having child quarantine from the rest of the house after a close contact. The doctor did the same for her own child who had a close contact. Based on her having us do this, do you think close contacts should be back in school? Again, my child is vaccinated as was doctor’s child.[/quote]

I believe CDC guidelines is vaccinated close contacts who are children have no restrictions besides masking like everyone else, and schools are following this. They are also, in our schools case at least,  making a point of not providing virtual learning or makeup work to close contact children who don't report to school. They will only provide work to children at home with Covid. So if you feel like your close contact child might develop Covid I guess it's on you to test them daily in this scenario n order to protect the community. [/quote]

So, if you've already got virtual programming going, you have to either have Covid or be an unvaccinated close-contact to learn virtually? It's it's already happening, why not invite anyone to participate? What does it matter? What does "making a point" actually accomplish? [/quote]

Because teaching kids in the classroom while also teaching kids virtually is incredibly for the teacher and has a negative impact on the quality all of the students are receiving. Makes sense to keep it to a minimum by restricting it to only kids who actually need to be out. By doing that, it’s not an every day thing.[/quote]

So we have to endanger kids to make the environment better for others?[/quote]

An older relative lives with us (vaxxed and boosted), and was is the hospital with Covid pneumonia over the holiday (he's on the mend, but it was scary). Our vaxxed child caught it at school the last week before the break. Our school didn't offer the class a virtual option because while they were all close-contacts to the initial positive case, they were vaccinated and didn't qualify for online. We asked for KN94/95s to be implemented, they declined. We sent our kid in a high-performance mask anyway. It still spread. I would have appreciated the ability to make that call for our family, vs. the protecting vibe of that classroom.[/quote]
