I was on that call for YHS sports.  To be fair, I thought he had a valid point that I hadn't thought of previously and didn't take it as he didn't want to be inconvenienced by a sick kid. First this is HS - parents aren't inconvenienced by a kid missing school because most HS kids stay home without parents. The point he and at least one other parent made was that for an asymptomatic, vaccinated student who would not otherwise have been tested and wouldn't have missed school, the athlete testing program now puts them in a position of having to miss school for a stretch when they wouldn't have if they were a non-athlete.  Because only athletes are going to be tested every day and I would bet most HS students are not going to opt in to even weekly testing.  With delta you will presumably have lots of students without symptoms, but carrying the virus, attending school, because they had no reason to go seek a test and find out they are positive.  it's harder to miss school and make up the work at this age.

Basically, they're comfortable with their kid out in public and in the schools infecting others as long as it doesn't impact their own child.

THIS is why this damn thing is dragging on.  The complete disregard for the public good in getting this thing under control.[/quote]

Did you even read what PP was saying?  They are talking about vaccinated, mask- wearing students.  Hard to call that "complete disregard for the public good."  Jeez
