SA teachers will no longer notify parents of all classroom COVID infections as cases surge
Teachers at South Australian public and Catholic schools will no longer always tell parents if their child is a COVID-19 classroom contact because the number of cases in schools has made the requirement too "burdensome".
haha XD

my 11's classroom has been a hotbed of Covid since school returned to classrooms in late February, active case notifications basically daily

That's what I thought as well, though I'm sure Doug is on side "information" instead of team "Pun Headlines" (NY Post)

Doritos bags will now contain 12% more air due to inflation is accurate but not descriptive
