[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are now testing student athletes each day, every day.  
It's not even something that is actually needed. 
Why didn't they use the money that was went towards paying for a company to do that testing and direct it towards direct financial incentives to teachers?  
I think more teachers would have been willing to do it for more money. [/quote]
The money might be earmarked for testing. Even if not it probably not enough to make a significant difference. If $500-1000 isn’t a big enough incentive I’m not sure more money would solve the issue. [/quote]

Yes, it is ear marked for testing and actually I believe was earmarked specifically for sports testing. [/quote]

They are most definitely NOT testing student athletes each day, every day.  They are only testing athletes if the athlete and parents agreed that the benefit of getting tested (not wearing a mask while playing/practicing the sport) was worth getting something stuck up the student's nose 6 days a week.  On the two teams my DDS play for, a total of 2 athletes agreed to this.[/quote]

It's a spit test.  My kid's entire team opted in as a team.  [/quote]
