[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m curious why we are testing at all? Evenness is vax”d at these schools. Most are boosted. Teachers. Kids. Administrators. We know the data from various countries as well as our own that kids aren’t at any real risk. Yet…we fall back to old policy/procedure.  I think parents and administrators are letting our children down w the inability to,lead, think critically and comprehend all the data that is now available. [/quote]

Because we care about the safety of the community, and the most vulnerable among us, and they're threatened right now.  This is a concrete thing that we can do to help.

We moved to a private school primarily because of their covid protocols, because we have a high risk household member.  We're grateful that the school community thinks he's worth protecting.  [/quote]

Well we moved OUT of private schools because of their COVID protocols (or lack thereof). They also weren’t willing to accommodate high risk kids that needed to stay home when their mitigation measures were non-existent. We realized what a crapshoot private schools in Md are because of the lack of oversight by the state BOE and health departments and chose to homeschool this year instead. And yes, during flu season we have also been extra cautious. Our kid has heart issues and even with all of us vaxxed they got both strains of the flu in 2019/20 winter about 2 months apart. So we knew all through this pandemic that breakthrough infections can happen and what flu like symptoms actually does to our child’s little body. [/quote]
What private school were you at?

Our private is in DAILY communication with the health department. They absolutely do supervise private schools. 
FWIW I have kids in public and private. The private school child was quarantined far more because the private does surveillance testing and got non-symptomatic positives. The public schools rely on self reported tests. [/quote]

We were at a school in MD. I know they talked to the health department because I called in several complaints only for admin to lie when they came to inspect. These privates in Montgomery County are doing whatever they want unless enough parents complain for safety.  We were not the only family to leave. [/quote]
