Maybe the parents who fake positives to shut down schools will cancel out the parents who won't t report positives/won't test their kids because they don't want schools to shut down.

Nobody’s doing this.

This.
Virtue for two or three weeks and then start fresh,

Two more weeks! Two more weeks! This feels like March 2020……

Perhaps the parents who fake positive tests will balance those who really do have positive tests but don't report them.

Don’t take this the wrong way but honestly, just shut up.

No one would actually do that. If you think people would do that you've lost it

In another thread, somebody's high schooler said they're already talking about it. If a system can be gamed, it will be gamed. It's human nature going back to the beginning of time.

OP, I think we can push MCPS to only close for staff shortages. If kids are testing positive in sky-high percentages, they'd be too sick to attend any kind of school, in-person or virtual. And if there aren't enough staff, close them, period. None of this virtual nonsense.

Giving them ideas, OP?

What can be done to stop in-person-at-any-cost parents from faking negative covid tests to keep all schools open? Seems like we are screwed! Although green schools will turn red eventually but some parents can slow that down by fake negatives or refusing to test.

I have heard that either way, teachers need to report in person. Is that true? Including for the first, asynchronous day or not? If so, then teachers at least have little incentive to go virtual, other than perhaps fewer bus or other duties.

Nothing. This system was either purposely or incompetently designed to get schools in the red to manufacture virtual outcomes. It's an absolute farce.
