[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the point? The other kids were already all exposed as well as the teachers. Just tell school your child has an ear infection/you are on vacation and call it a day. It doesn't actually prevent anything and instead just makes every other family struggle. And if the other kids are going to get Covid-they are going to get it regardless of having to stay out of school for 10 days.

There is literally no point to this anymore.

That doesnt fly for our school. We are required to bring a doctors note stating that it isnt something other than COVID if he is sick. And no one will believe we are on vacation, maybe that works for summer but it doesnt fly for the rest of the year. Not only that but my kid will be like- I missed you so and so but I got to watch TV for 8 hours with Mommy. [/quote]

Your daycare requires a doctors note to return from any absence?   That’s insane - they are probably getting a kickback from health insurance companies.   Have Dad do the drop off - no one hassles a dad about that nonsense. [/quote]

NP, my daycare also has a requirement for this, if you match any of the COVID symptoms.  Haven't considered lying about tummy/ear aches yet.  I actually don't midn this for our family, because we can get rapid PCRs covered by insurance and email our doctor for a note, also covered through insurance.  We can get that lined up in the amount of time it takes for the kid to recover anyway.  BUT, not everyone has a close by rapid PCR, and some people are actually (maybe?) going into the dr's office to get these return-to-school notes.  It is an easy bar for us to clear, but I still think it is unreasonable as a policy.   It would be more reasonable to request a rapid test before return, and maybe a few days later - but that's about it.

Our daycare is also NOT doing classroom shut downs for exposure any more.  I agree that is completely crazy at this stage.  They also let children who have positive parents attend daycare (though in both cases I know of, the kid eventually was positive too).[/quote]
