Stupid school

[Tabbydancer]

I don’t know whether to blame the school or the government
As I write my child has been crushed in a queue of 200 kids - the last 20 minutes indoors - waiting for a LFT to see if they are negative so they can return to school tomorrow
The sheer stupidity of testing for an infectious disease in a crush of a queue is mind boggling
The teachers won’t let him go (I told him to walk out of the queue) as he says it is a D of E directive. He is 13 and doesn’t have the confidence to turn around himself (he is texting me)

Why is the deceased Duke of Edinburgh to blame?

I was trying to channel the spirit of the Duke of Edinburgh, sorry

Ours are to test at home tonight or tomorrow morning although it’s guidance and not compulsory. I will test ds tonight. We haven’t seen anyone for over a week so not likely to be positive.

OP your school totally messed it up.
You are correct that what you describe would cause spread.
99% schools nothing like this

Given the replies so far, definitely the school!!
