[quote=Anonymous]Let's back up for a moment and consider the intent/goals here. The goal is to prevent the spread of covid and to keep kids in school and keep schools open. So if a parent has a child with covid symptoms that would normally NOT keep a child home (e.g., a runny nose), tests the child for covid, the child is negative, then sends the child to school, the parent is being responsible and is meeting the above goals. If the parent chooses to fill out the (optional, despite what some say) survey, the rest of the steps and ultimate outcome is the same, EXCEPT that the child is likely to miss a day or two of school while dealing with red tape/paperwork. No one is any safer. Either way, the kid doesn't have covid. But in one case, the kid misses school for no reason. Do people really not understand why parents would just get the kid tested and not mention it to APS if the test is negative?[/quote]
