Tiny potential threat? We are in the upside down world.
nobody knows what’s going on with the kid. and if he is covid positive and has no safe home to go to - what do you creeps want, a pitchfork brigade to throw him out? vaccinated teachers engaging in these histrionics are just too much.

Same poster, and it certainly is a DCPS problem. DCPS promised symptomatic testing. DCPS is not testing the tweet child, after placing that child in a - covid isolation room - two consecutive days.
this kind of rumor-spreading targeting individually identifiable children is *exactly* why some of us were asking for this thread to be deleted or closely moderated. what do you want, to go to the school and throw the kid out based on a rumor he’s sick and hasn’t been tested? this vigilantism is why DCPS is careful about how it releases data. if you need to know the identity of every kid with the sniffles to feel safe, homeschool.
I am closely monitoring this thread so I am a little surprised by this response. What "individually identifiable" information has been posted about a child?
PP who linked tweet. Of course none. The PP so worried about rumors is worried that well-to-do families whose farts don't smell won't be able to let their kid head to a covid isolation room several consecutive days without being tested. They don't want parents to communicate at all, whether it's anonymously about anonymous children here, or in private or open communication streams.

anyone who can infer what school the tweeter teaches at (usually not hard to figure out by context) could then make an inference about the child. or people will think they know what kid he’s talking about and make assumptions about that kid. either way it’s gross and unprofessional.

I’d be so ticked if my child’s teacher tweeted about my kid.

+1 and let's not forget how OUT OF CONTROL it got last week on a different thread. People were talking about a specific child's activities in great detail. Doing this on an anonymous message board is just asking for things to get out of control and icky.
If this teacher's story is true, he's already giving out a lot of information out about an innocent child, and also made it really clear how mad he is.

I'm so glad that poor child has somewhere to sleep.

I also hope he doesn't have Covid -- maybe the school should just give him a test?
I see these anecdotes and the people tweeting them and sharing them all seem to think this is evidence schools should be closed, but to me it's just further evidence that we desperately need support structure in place for families. Imagine seeing a sick child and just feeling angry that schools are open, instead of thinking "what can I do to help this kid?" Presumably the tweeter is vaccinated so the threat to him, personally posed by this child is small. And he is in an isolation room where presumably only other vaccinated adults in masks are interacting with him. Sound like a tough situation but it does not make me think the Covid protections at the school have failed (to the contrary, many of them are working, though the child should not have returned to school). It makes me think we as a society are failing children, starting with an educator who'd rather tweet about a sick child than do something to help him.
the teacher tweeting has no idea if the kid was tested or what else is going on.

I had the exact same reaction. The tweeter has previously posted about leaving education for IT and maybe they should explore that further. If you are rage tweeting information about a child, something a little more solitary might be a better fit.
