      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,

          Lots of dumb ideas being tried because they can’t/won’t grapple with the fact that kids can’t/won’t get vaccinated

          Seems like crazy ass-covering! Meanwhile, I've already had to ask my kid's school to open the windows twice, and my son told me his class got a "mask break" on the first day.

          + every single thing you child does has its own attestation app: soccer, football, camps, etc. I have an entire folder on my phone for it.
