Self isolating due to cases in school

[shesgonebatshitagain]

What would you say to someone who reckons school telling them that their child has to self isolate at home means that they can still go out of the house for walks and to ride their bike

I’m trying to think of a compelling but polite way to phrase it as I know they can’t. What would you say to them ?

This is not about me honestly

Do they mean the child or rest of the house?
At the start of lockdown and pretesting people with symptoms were allowed out for a walk so I would just say the rules have changed and the child has to stay in the house.

I have tried this as I thought she was confusing the first lockdown with self isolating But still being able to walk

She seems convinced that it’s ok to go out walking round where we live with her children and I’m worried that she will get into trouble. I despise this shop a person culture but suspect she will be seen by several
Others who know the kids are supposed to be at home.

The standard letter from school is clear. She will know what has to be done but she is choosing not to.

Speak to the school. Insist that the communicate to all parents of children who are supposed to self isolate that they are not to go out. At all, not for walks, not bikes, not to walk the dog.

Yep. Just had the letter here. Rest of us carry on as usual. Child identified is to self isolate. However the letter says to self isolate and then links to the gov website. If you have told her that she shouldn't be doing it there isn't much else you can do.

She is choosing not to comply (child is a contact, child stays home.for 14 days from last exposure to the +ve case).

She most likely already know the rules.

I have just heard of a case where a child actually had a positive test and the parents sent them to school. Now two other children have tested positive .

How worrying for the teachers who will be more at risk or parents at high risk .

@Unsure33 that’s reprehensible. But sadly not much people do surpluses me anymore.

Friend seems to have heeded advice as she called me the other night and said she’d realised. I seem to now have a similar issue with the ex who thinks because he doesn’t have a car he can walk them up to his place to spend today there. We are not in a bubble but I know I must make the children available so to that end is offered for him to spend the day here and I can go out for a while to get a break as it’s been a long week. He’s said no. I’ve said I don’t think I can allow him to do this as they are self isolating.
Why is this shit happening to me
