[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you angry about school closures or virtual learning, whose kids struggled so much last school year, will you do your part to make school safe and open by opting IN to in-school asymptomatic testing, respecting travel quarantine rules, avoiding indoor sports and unmasked indoor gatherings this winter? Will you make sure your kid stays home when sick, and provide them with a well-fitting quality mask? [/quote]

No, but I will advocate for the thing that will ACTUALLY make it safer: mandatory vax for all adults in dcps schools. [/quote]

NP. You won’t commit to any of those? Not even not sending your sick kid to school?[/quote]

No, but NOPE. Onus should be on unvaxed adults. My kids have done enough.[/quote]

So wait, you are saying you would send your kids to school WITH covid?  Because your kids have done enough?[/quote]

My kids are vaxxed and I would do a Covid test if they are symptomatic. But I am honestly pissed at the prospect of them having to wear masks and have another subpar year. They are in MS and HS. I want mandatory vaxes for 12 and up.[/quote]
My question was implicitly directed at the parents of kids too young for vaccines. Thanks for sharing, though. The age of your kids clarified what sounded like an extreme position, although I am concerned that some parents of younger kids would feel the same way, alas, from what I've read on this board.[/quote]

I’m the original incredulous poster, and I was also thinking about unvaccinated kids, but I wasn’t thinking only about Covid. I also don’t want my kids to catch your kids stomach viruses (scarier than Covid to me since I’m vaccinated), and especially during these times, I don’t want my kids to get sick with anything because then I will have to keep them home from school or camp. Your actions have ripple effects for others, even if your kids are vaccinated, and even if the other kids are too. And vaccinated kids are old enough to stay home by themselves, so your childcare argument doesn’t really apply there.

I’m totally with you on the notion that kids have sacrificed enough during this pandemic, but please think of other kids and not just your own. If your kid gives another vaccinated or too young to be vaccinated kid a non Covid virus, they will have to miss school, which they have already done enough of.[/quote]
