[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need to stop testing.  We never test for COVID and send our kid to school only when healthy.  That means if he has a sore throat one day he stays home, but if he feels better the next, he goes to school.  Nobody can make you test.  Time to get back to normalcy.[/quote]

Don’t tell, don’t tell is the only way to get back to normalcy.

No one ever told the school when their child had the flu. If you called at all, you would just say your kid was sick and wouldn’t be going in. We’re well overdue to treat Covid the same way.[/quote]

Yes because sick teachers are irrelevant to schools. We only send our children to school to get them out of the house. It makes no difference if there is no teacher in the classroom. They are not important. Just get the kids out of sight.[/quote]

I’m pretty sure you’re a troll but I’ll bite - Teachers are dealing with similarly mild symptoms too and/or their own otherwise healthy kids quarantined. My DS’s math teacher was home for nearly two weeks because her kids were Covid positive. She was incredibly frustrated because one of her kids was completely asymptomatic and the other had only mild symptoms. We’ve had several teachers out for a full week who’ve said they felt fine and could have returned to work earlier save for the mandatory quarantine. As with any other illness, teachers who feel really unwell can and should stay home …. But if they feel well and have little to no symptoms, why not return to school? [/quote]

I don’t think she’s a troll. I think she’s the poster that wants masks, distancing, and isolation/quarantines to continue until Covid “goes away.”[/quote]
