The problem is once a school sends home a sick kid, you’re already being tracked. If you go for the 10 day quarantine they consider you positive “by admission”. If you can’t afford or can’t handle a kid 10 days out of school, or don’t want them to fall behind, test is your only option.
It’s totally a trap.
And don’t all type in “home school”! Not an option for many
"The problem is once a school sends home a sick kid, you’re already being tracked."
Tell me how the kid is being tracked? My kids were sick last year at school at different times. The school called each time and told me they didn't feel well. End of story. I called the school the next day and told them my child will not be attending school today due to illness. End of story.
My friend, you sound like you have Covidophobia. It is a fear of a purported 'virus' that is 99.998% harmless to children. The only way the school would have knowledge of a COVID-19 case is that they tested the child. It's sad they are testing your child. Was this with your consent? Who's the parent here? Who would allow a stranger to examine their child? Who permits strangers to have custodian authority over their child? Do you see the problem here?
No friend, I don’t. I have administrative and burocratic fear.
Last year, you say?
Let me be clear, you don’t notify the school of any illness. Period. Because, THIS year, the nurse hands you a sheet of paper with 3 options to get them back in. They log the student absent reason and/or if they go home sick as requiring theses 3 options to get them in.
Free in FL? Where are you (county - not city)? There are huge differences between the counties in FL - take Broward for example. The school boards and their regulations vary widely. I lived in Volusia for 18 months recently until I just couldn't take it any more and moved back to East TX. Daughter is still a kindergarten teacher in Volusia. Wife wanted to stay in case she decided to get married (fairly recent college grad) but I searched for a job that paid for relo back to TX and left as soon as I could.
Your gov is great. Other than that, I didn't have much use for doing either 40 or 100 on I-4 depending on who was in front of me. Strange place - lived there for several years previously (in Polk that time) and things were still basically the same. Too many retirees, too many snowbirds, too many New Yorkers escaping, and of course "Florida Man".

Well, your world is far different than mine. How's living in the Soviet Union, anyway?
