[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP can opt not to test their kids if they don't want to but it's super odd that they're trying to get others not to.

more testing = finds asymptomatic cases = less infection = fewer kids get sick = less missed school.

Except this is all dependent on how many kids in your class are getting tested. If you opt in for testing, your child is asymptomatic positive, they have to quarantine st school. Any close contacts that are vaccinated are then asked to prove a negative test and can stay in school. And any kid who might also be asymptomatic positive, but doesn’t get weekly tested and isn’t considered a close contact (in our school this means a desk pod - not even kids they eat lunch with), will stay in school. I would have no problem opting in to get my kids tested if it were a requirement, but I’m not going to volunteer when most don’t. It’s masochistic. But I also don’t care what other parents do. IMO it’s just more “vaccine theater” for overworried parents. [/quote]
