So a parent with COVID sent their child to school. This will be a huge, HUGE problem especially at the elementary school level if schools re-open. Parents already send their kids to school sick; any teacher with a month's experience can look at a student and know to ask them "did you mom or dad give you some pink or purple medicine this morning?". And a question WCPSS could not answer was "if I am forced to quarantine, will I have to use my sick time? what I have to quarantine a few times during the year?"
Ironic that the parents most skutching for schools to re open are the ones least trustworthy to make the whole machine work.

Isn't that obvious? I mean do you really think that people who are forced to go work an $8/hr job every day in order to get by are going to be making the best decisions? I don't even trust myself to make the right decisions when every single little symptom is now considered to be Covid.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have a feeling you're both pointing to the "muh rights" people as GVoR says (or at least one of you), but they're probably not the ones that want schools to re-open the most.
Ya I’m not talking about the working poor m378.
I’m talking about people like the yahoo down the street from me here in Heritage who wanted to storm WCPSS and force them to offer In person edumacation.

Yeah, there are tons of people at the schools my kids go to /have gone to whose parents are making $8 an hour. (sarcasm).
It has always - since I was a kid (and I'm no kid) been the rule that if you have a fever you should stay home. Fever means your body is doing the work of fighting an infection. And no, it's not ok to go to work or school or anywhere else when you're sick and contagious. This isn't about the economy or my rights or anything else. And now more than ever, if you do show up sick, all you're doing is postponing the inevitable, which is your kid being home for the day. Fever is an across-the-board symptom of COVID, but it's also a symptom of many other contagious diseases. Stay home. Or go home. Either way, mom or dad is gonna have to be home too. Is COVID putting a major hurt on many people that we won't fully know the effects of for a year or two? Yup. Yup it is.

I don't think those are the people that comprise the vast majority that want schools to reopen.

Right, but weren't you talking about a kid that was asymptomatic and passed a temp check? You said the parent had covid, did they know they had covid?
Where do you draw the line? If my coworker tests positive, do I have to keep my kid home from school?

In my little bubble here in Heritage (which almost certainly has 0 “$8/hr essential workers” to steal m378’s line) there is absolutely a “type” of parent who want schools open. One of my neighbors is one of them and I would barely trust him to tell me what color the sky is.
You should read their tropes on NextDoor. The ongoing debate (which was hilariously still going as of a couple of days ago) on some dudes “Petition” read like a QAnon 4chan discussion.
Now did twinkles have those types in mind with her post? I can’t say. I applied my own use of the line. She can state for the record if she meant something different.
Come on up here to the boonies my man. I’ll let you log in to my Nextdoor to the see the neighborhood discussions.
It’s literally the “Dont Tread on Me!!!!!!!!” types versus everyone else.
No I agree there's plenty of those types, I just think there are far more families out there that don't have options when their kids can't go to school. They also want schools to open.

For sure there are people who have no options. But those aren’t the ones I’m seeing on Nextdoor.
I mean if I click on your name when I see your post and you share who is in your house and I see your wife is SAHM....sorta means you “have” options.
