[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the dumbest policy in a long line of many. Allergies, asthma, chronic headaches, cold season coming up. It's utter nonsense. Seriously, how stupid can people be and feel like they need to one up the CDC and state officials? [/quote]
+1  I feel for you ES parents.

my kids are in MS/HS, but DC gets migraines, have had them since 6 yrs old, DC also has asthma.  Other DC has terrible allergies, including in the fall.

I have stated before.. MoCo leadership, including the BOE are waaaay too conservative and are driven by fear rather than science.[/quote]

My kid has chronic migraines. No medical professional on the face of the earth says to go get a COVID test, let alone quarantine a class and take away their ability for in person education and socialization, if he gets a headache. I feel awful for his class if they do that when he gets one in school. He knows when it is a migraine as opposed to sick. They need to clarify. Limiting it to "severe" doesn't help because it is severe. Actually, it's more severe than when he is sick. And it got worse with all the screen time and virtual. So MCPS made worse the problem that is now a quarantine symptom. Self fulfilling prophecy. [/quote]

The policy talks about clearance from a doctor.  Just work it out with the school nurse in advance.  Chill.  [/quote]
