[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m curious why we are testing at all? Evenness is vax”d at these schools. Most are boosted. Teachers. Kids. Administrators. We know the data from various countries as well as our own that kids aren’t at any real risk. Yet…we fall back to old policy/procedure.  I think parents and administrators are letting our children down w the inability to,lead, think critically and comprehend all the data that is now available. [/quote]

Because we care about the safety of the community, and the most vulnerable among us, and they're threatened right now.  This is a concrete thing that we can do to help.

We moved to a private school primarily because of their covid protocols, because we have a high risk household member.  We're grateful that the school community thinks he's worth protecting.  [/quote]

You don’t care about the safety of the community, you said it yourself - you have a high risk household member.  That’s who you care about. Don’t  lecture everyone else about looking out for their families when that’s exactly what you’re doing.

Teen suicide - up
Violence against children - up
Learning loss - drastic and permanent
Behavioral issues among children - up 
What about those community members? Where’s your concern for them? [/quote]

Agree. It isn’t just the virus, gang. Long term harm comes in many forms. Our school leaders continue to let us down. Testing perfectly healthy kids with no symptoms who are vax’d makes zero sense. Much greater harm than greater good. [/quote]

You can't be for real. [/quote]

While I am not the entire string, I am the last poster and I am very real and not alone. We are doing far more harm than good to kids that have been fully vax'd. I see zero reason for a school to test an asymptomatic, vax'd child that is essentially in a 100% vax'd cohort. Numbers say the worst vax'd kids will get are cold-like symptoms. No hospitalization. No deaths. Are their outliers re symptoms, of course. But school policy shouldn't be made on outlier cases.

It is pretty clear that we are all going to get some version of Omicron...get vax'd and move on for the vast, vast majority of people.

Last poster, I’m confused about why you think testing harms kids. It’s a quick nasal swab. And I’m pretty sure a lot of this revolves around keeping teachers healthy, not just students. Can’t run a school with a bunch of sick teachers. [/quote]

How would you feel if you were age 12-14 double vax Ed, wearing masks everywhere for over 2 years, then we’re tested weekly for two years. Each week waiting to find out “ am I positive”, “ will they make me stay home”, “ will I die”, “will I give it to someone else who will die” and all this time you are actually healthy, and just paralyzed by what if’s snd fear.

It’s outrageous [/quote]

No. It’s responsible.

But if you’d rather they learn at home, maskfree and blissfully untested, no problem.[/quote]
