Well now, this is just nonsense. There is no definitive research that day 3 is more optimal than day 2. Irrespective, this bananas approach of quarantining children with this thing is illogical. Who is it protecting?

It is protecting no one just causing chaos in the communities.

That proves my point - they dont know what is the opitmal day to test , but you think it is okay to congregrate in a classroom of 30 !

By isolating, you are protecting that same community and reducing covid cases , surely the target is to get case numbers as low as possible. I appreciate that is a tough ask , but by staggering covid cases in a school community over a 6 - 18 day period , it isnt the solution either

And for how long should this continue? Indefinitely?

Close contacts out for 10 days - IS the easiest way to manage in school. Straight forward to sort & manage !

You are looking children who have tested negative to keep isolating for 10 days - can you explain why apart from it is easiest for the school?

[the goal was on]

If your negative you should be able to return. Otherwise we are never gonna some sort of normality back.
Unfair some schools following guidance and others not.

It is protecting the people who do not have Covid and don't want it.
There is little choice in relation to sending home, but testing should be timely so that they can come back.

Yes because the PCR test could be -ve on Day 2 but +ve on Day 3, how can you determine what is safe for every child in a class.?  Most children are asymptomatic ...which is another problem.
Covid cases numbers arent coming down that significantly either

[the goal was on]

The high number of cases has been a result of our shitshow of a government. We def could have controlled cases better in summer but they chose to go underground for months and some of them even declared we're near the end last may!

Just going by the Dept Of Educations letter to principals today, in studies conducted by close contact tracing in England & Scotland in the 2020/21 school year in post primary schools 97% of those sent home to isolate as close contacts did not become positive Covid cases

and if you knew who the 3% were then you could jusr send them home.

No more full classes getting sent home going by that new approach

Many kids dying or in ICU, you would have the schools closed, when would you reopen when covid is wiped out?

[TMAC]

It's the "if you don't test for it, it doesn't exist" theory going into practice. It'll be interesting to see how it pans out.

Shit might you have to do some work now?

[TMAC]

It's always pathetic when a condescending teacher tries to be funny, they must think we are all children.

[Milltown Row2]

Of all the children who were supposed to be in front of me today only 89% actually were.

The snowball scene in Elf is my favourite.

Way too early for Elf, after half term you can put it on

[TMAC]

Are you raging?

I assume you are a student teacher. You must be still in the hormonal years to think anything you could say would enlist any emotion from anyone.

[TMAC]

It's just that you are coming across as though you are raging.

Hopefully you ain't teaching anything of importance, kids would be as well at home.
