Not a parent, but I'll speak for my Asian-American parents.
The policy is: "You must go to school even if you have Covid, either you are buried or your are at school." (meaning: if you aren't dead, you have to go to school)
"Classmates have bullet wounds? That's your internship for being a doctor!" (/s they didn't actually say this part, obviously, but it's implied)
