COVID tests from school

[3rdbabyiscoming]

My son is in secondary school and brings Rapid Antigen Self Tests home every week. He does not use them and I told him not to bring them home but he says teachers simply tell him to take one and it's ok if he doesn't use it.
I have a drawer full of them. What am I supposed to do with these tests?

Do them yourself? You are supposed to be testing yourself twice a week if you have a child in school.

Chuck them in the bin if you're not going to just them, what else do you expect anyone to say?!

Return them to the school & tell them when FS says no, he means no.

Alternatively teach him about social responsibility 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why isn’t he using them?

Get your child to use them and teach them about social responsibility and doing things for the greater good.

Tell him to use them! I assume school tell him to bring them home because they think he'll have an adult at home responsible enough to get him to do the test.

Can you persuade him to do the responsible thing and use them? Or use yourself

Why isn't he using them? He should be!

Use them yourself?

Make him use them - think of school staff safety.

Why isn’t he doing them?

Use them. I see over 300 kids in my 3 days a week teaching role, across 5 different bubbles. Face masks to be ditched imminently and cases popping up again/isolations increasing already. It helps me feel less anxious at work if we’re all testing (me and the kids)

Don’t you just love it when an op starts a thread disappears without engaging with anyone?

Be a responsible parent and get DS to take them

You are supposed to explain to him why it's a good idea to do them

If he really won't then given then to someone who will. Yourself for example. Yes it's a pain but it's for the greater good.

Mine do theirs they probably don't want to but it's not optional in this house!!

Maybe her third baby came?
