To ask if your child’s teacher has tested positive what action did you take?

[Reesewithaspoon]

D’s (15) has just been informed that his form teacher has tested positive over the weekend.
Just had an email to confirm which states that the teacher, a student teacher and only 3 students (have no idea why just 3) have been asked to self isolate so the rest (including my son) are to stay in school.
This is the first time with either of my dc that we have had this (both in secondary school) so not sure of the protocol, do they not self isolate the whole class?
Ds suffers from terrible anxiety and we have had lots of problems over the last 3 years. However, after counselling and medication we have been back on track for a while but he is constantly texting me this morning in a complete state saying he has been very close to this teacher last week.
I also care for my mum who is clinically vulnerable so am quite concerned.
Has anyone been in this position? Did your child still continue to go to school even when their teacher had tested positive?
Im not sure what to do for the best.

‘ I spend most of my waking hours looking after an elderly parent with Alzheimer’s. How the fuck does that make me selfish?’

Expecting teachers to isolate from their family members, just bc those family members work on covid wards, since March makes you selfish, regardless of who you loom after the rest of your time. HTH.

Besides, if you expect your child’s teacher to isolate away from their partner, are you going to pay the rent on a second home for them? Didn’t think so, OP.
