    Is there a single positive reason for the daily COVID attestation process in schools? It feels like a lot of money wasted on buggy apps and delays in schools. *At most*, a weekly reminder/attestation would do whatever good this daily click-click-click process is supposed to do.🙄

        It feels like some people convinced some bureaucrats to give them money for buggy apps. Ask parents to "attest", say, weekly they will not send their kid to school if they test positive etc. Anyone who would, would lie on the app anyway. Waste of staff and student time and money.

        Thankfully Chicago public schools moved to a written form once per quarter, promising to not send our child to school if sick,

        I find it annoying too, but at a minimum it can prompt me to have a little check-in with myself and see if I'm experiencing symptoms

        Can we just replace it with daily testing? Please?

        That's a good start but if we could get to hourly that would be great. I know, I know. Every 15 minutes would be better, but let's not make the perfect the enemy of the good.

        Ah, but enter a really bad symptom accidentally and followup with an email saying it’s a mistake and you’ll see how it works!
