[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So question for the blow through crowd.  Should we stop testing and stop requiring people who are positive to stay home?  Operationally it is impossible to fully staff many schools and contact trace correctly at this level of case rates.  [/quote]

It should be like any other virus. Stay home if you are sick. Fever free after 24 hours.[/quote]

What about a sneeze and a persistent dry cough?

Asking for a COVID positive Deal student who had been fever free for 24 hours. [/quote]

Adult teacher here: dropped fever after first 24 but have been dry coughing / congested the next 48 so far.

I want to add that I really don’t think the keep schools open at all cost people understand the mental toll that this past week took on teachers. So many of us have gone through so much in the past 18 months (I know kids and parents have too, no need for a pissing contest), and we’re just hoping to make it to a peaceful winter break. Every day this week has been walking into a fire storm, not knowing how many + people you’d be exposed too. The sheer number of teachers who now are either positive or have to quarantine for the holidays is staggering, and it’s really rocked people to their core. As a workforce we were in bad shape beforehand, but between the closed off messaging and lack of transparency of DCPS, and the dehumanization of us by parents, this is a new low point.

Just something to keep in mind the next time you attack teachers. It would have made a lifetime of difference to close these three days and let people at least enjoy their holiday before the next lockdown. [/quote]
