[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that if a parent sends their kid to school with one of those symptoms and no explanation, and then refuses to get them medical care including a test, CPS should be involved.  I think that parents who want in person school need to realize it comes with the obligation to test if symptomatic.  [/quote]

Settle down, Suzy.

Let me explain how easy it is for this to happen to any student…including those with a perfect mother. Here’s what has happened at our school:

Kid complains of a headache or tummy ache or sneezes and has a runny nose or coughs three times over the course of an hour.

^^^
It only takes one such “symptom” for a nervous teacher to send the kid to the health room and the end result could be quarantining the entire class unless/until the kid presents a negative covid test result.

This scenario is expedited if a kid pukes in the classroom.

Again: this can and will happen…even to kids with perfect parents…and most of the time it’s a false alarm. [/quote]
