I have been receiving info about changing mask/COVID testing guidance from my son's school. The latest is that unvaccinated kids must be tested for any activities done outside of school hours. In his case, this is orchestra ... So concerts, and practices held outside normal hours (probably leading up to a concert).
I. AM. PISSED.
First, this isn't what we agreed to. Second, only unvaccinated???? Are you F'n kidding me????!!!!! Third, this is just one more 'boil the frog' move.
Current plan: go to HS tomorrow and be the crazy lady they can't deal with. Pull my kid from orchestra, demand accomodations to be allowed into a different class/elective in the time slot.
This is probably 80% rational. I could use some strategy angles. I'm open to suggestions... Momma-bear is in full attack mode, which is not always helpful.
Full-on Mama Bear! Tell them to show you the scientific evidence behind their decisions. If they can't then call BULLSHIT. However, get some of your own, like how most cases recorded recently are people that have been fully jabbed.
What did you agree to?
Yes. Definitely be prepared to counter anything.
Today I'll put together my info and take it in. I know what will happen... "We're not making the call, this is school, district guidance". Everyone is always pointing too someone else and there is no actual standing up and questioning.
I agreed to my kid being in orchestra. If we had known at the beginning of the year that this was required, we would have not signed him up.
