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.
Yes, is the purpose of the policy is to make a safe and healthy environment for kids and staff? If yes, how is that measured?
If, according to the CDC, a vaccinated person can still get and transmit Covid — particularly with the Delta variant, how is an unvaccinated student protected from the vaccinated? Will these vaccinated students be tested equally as the unvaccinated as they too pose some risk?
Love this.
