[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd like for situations like these to be shared with parents:

I'm so glad that poor child has somewhere to sleep. I wonder what his home life is like that he returned to school even though he was sick -- I bet his parents don't have other options for childcare and may not have had a choice but to go to school today. I also hope he doesn't have Covid -- maybe the school should just give him a test?

I see these anecdotes and the people tweeting them and sharing them all seem to think this is evidence schools should be closed, but to me it's just further evidence that we desperately need support structure in place for families. Imagine seeing a sick child and just feeling angry that schools are open, instead of thinking "what can I do to help this kid?" Presumably the tweeter is vaccinated so the threat to him, personally posed by this child is small. And he is in an isolation room where presumably only other vaccinated adults in masks are interacting with him. Sound like a tough situation but it does not make me think the Covid protections at the school have failed (to the contrary, many of them are working, though the child should not have returned to school). It makes me think we as a society are failing children, starting with an educator who'd rather tweet about a sick child than do something to help him.[/quote]

the teacher tweeting has no idea if the kid was tested or what else is going on. [/quote]
