Yes.
The pain of the testing isn't the only thing that's bothering me about this. (For my it's hypothetical as my kids school didn't send home any forms.)
It's complete overreach. And desensitizes people to government control.
As you see people are already saying, I don't like it but I'll just do it so my kids can be in school.
Maybe they should start mandating tests every time you leave your house. Or every time you go to church/shul. Or every time you spend time at the bar or movie theater. Why stop just at schools?
And like others mentioned this isn't a thought out scientifically based rule recommended by educated health practitioners. This was decided by some political leaders.
What is the science behind testing just a small amount of students every so often? It feels like a shot in the dark that won't really make anyone smarter.

Exactly. This is inexcusable.
And by the way, you gotta be incredibly naive to think that "this way the schools will stay open". The political officials change their goalposts and deadlines on a whim, without any scientific reasoning.
What do you think is gonna happen if they decide the number of cases coming back positive is too much? They'll shut down again without blinking twice.
Nevermind that the testing labs aren't always acting 100% honestly. I heard this firsthand from someone that filled out paperwork to test but went home without testing and received a callback that she's positive.
I knew these kind of stories were circulating but I was skeptical. Then I heard it firsthand...

Yeshivas won't sue, they're doing their best to stay under the radar, and I can't blame them. Would love for some parents to sue though...

Seriously? Have you ever had a Covid test done? Or even a barely painful blood test as a six year old child without your parents present?

I’m response to the OP- I haven’t and will not sign any consent forms. If a Covid test is required I will take my child to the doctor and have the test done with myself present .

I could understand a school's interest in random tests during a global pandemic to ensure the safety of all students. I don't understand the school's interest in treating a child, if that's really what they're demanding.
If someone tests positive, shouldn't their parents collect their child, quarantine them and/or go to their own doctor? Can someone post a copy of a letter circulating with that language? This sounds confusing.
