Pulling kids from school?

[SnowSurprise]

Anyone starting to do think about doing this? Rates rapidly rising in our area with almost half the cases in the age group of my DC. Starting to think about Christmas and pulling the DC from school in the last week. Carol service is apparently still going ahead on 22nd which seems like an excellent way to spread lots of Christmas Covid. Debating DC1 coming down with something on the Saturday 18th and DC2 unfortunately not feeling great on the Monday....

Rising cases means bigger protection. Most of the children where o work have had Covid, adults all double jabbed or had Covid. The protection rate is rising

This is a very worrying and ill-informed thing to say. Studies are increasingly suggesting that Covid could cause long term neurological damage even if symptoms weren’t significant. We have taken a huge risk by exposing so much of the population in recent months. Basic mitigation measure would have made a big difference, specifically masks and household isolation. We still need time to understand the longer term effects.

I’m respect of the question, I don’t think you’d be unreasonable if rates are high and you’re worried about the implications. Your family your choice, just like everyone else on here.

Why does it matter? You want my dob and mothers maiden name too? The question is the same: If your primary kids are in school, are you considering taking them out for the last week of term so that you can lower the risk of them being ill over Christmas or passing it on to susceptible elderly relatives?

You're being ridiculous. No-one wants your street and house number, just your country!
