AIBU to report lack of self isolation to school?

[Triceratops3]

A family with 2 DDs in my DDs school returned from a short holiday Venice on Saturday. I have seen photos of them enjoying themselves in Venice on their social media accounts so know that they definitely went.

They have sent their DDs into school today rather than self isolate against the latest advice from the government. The parents' attitude is that we'll all be exposed at some point so there's no point self isolating!

Would I be unreasonable to phone the school and let them know or should I keep quiet? One of the DDs is in the same class as my eldest DDs.

YANBU, definitely report them

Yes, do 'dry snitch' - you might not be popular with the pathetic teenage bullies who use that expression but it is important the school know.
YADNBU.

For those asking what 'dry snitching' is, you might recognise the other teenage term 'grassing up' it means the same thing I think. The teenagers I taught used to say it to put pressure on people to stop them telling the truth about bullying or naming people who had done something wrong.

We know what it is @LuluJakey1, but it makes a grown man using it repeatedly sound like a knob.

If you don't want to 'dry snitch' to the school, put it out there on your parent's whatsapp group (if you have one!), and hopefully peer pressure will make them do the right thing. However if they have spent a whole day at school already it might be too late to stop them spreading it.

Yes phone them now-what selfish fuckers

I know what snitching is, but what makes it dry? Very little has been dry recently.

Crappy selfish thing to do, phone the school.

Thanks for the advice, school were already aware after someone else 'dry snitched' (?!) on them. I've not heard what school are doing re situation but know that neither of my DDs have been in classes with their DDs so far today. I'm hoping that they were isolated within school as soon as they arrived so that they weren't in contact with any other pupils.

The family have chosen not to self isolate because both adults are self employed and their DCs are in important exam years. They believe that there is very little risk having been to Venice (definitely not the one in Vegas @Bellesavage - that would have been a better option!). Their attitude is that we're all going to be exposed at some point so self isolating is not necessary, despite being the most current government advice. This is on their social media page following a question from another person asking if they needed any supplies while they were self-isolating! Some people are so selfish...

I don't think there's been a class let alone a year group my kids have been in without at least one immunocompromised child.

I would inform the school - sending links to the social media account then trust them to deal with it appropriately.

@SoupDragon is there an opposite to dry snitching do you think? Soggy snitching?

That's awful. It's not their call to make. The government has issued this advice for a reason. They could genuinely be putting people's lives at risk!

Honestly, if I were you I'd get in touch with the local newspaper and report it to them anonymously, see if they can put some pressure on the school to do the right thing if they're deciding to ignore it too. I can't believe how selfish some people are!

Well, they chose to go to Italy after all, funny about the message (supplies) people need to consider the consequences of their actions.

Wow, OP, what selfish arseholes they turned out to be!

Selfish arseholes putting the elderly at risk and at risk groups. Makes my blood boil

Plus if the school are not informing parents then someone needs to. Word will soon get around if it's reported and at least people will know to stay the heck away from the selfish family!

Yes, please tell them.

Aren't there other countries imposing fines on people who ignore quarantine rules? Perhaps we need that over here now too!

I am guessing that, maybe Venice was not one of 'the areas' when they set off. Perhaps. (clutches at straws) surely being in exam years etc would have meant being more careful regarding need to isolate, not less..

Some countries are sending them back if they don't do it

I didn’t think you’d be the only to have noticed &/or to call the school. They’re behaving very selfishly.

This is why schools have to close!!!

Maybe being self employed and having two children in exam years was a good reason not to skirt around a lock down zone with their fingers crossed? Muppets. I'd happily weld their doors shut, personally.

I thought the government was supposed to be supporting self employed people who chose to self isolate.

@SoupDragon I reckon the opposite is when you make the ‘snitching’ phone call from your bath.
