BVR is requiring 5 year olds to wear KN95 masks

[Anonymous]

I am speechless and upset.
Are all other schools do the same?
Do you think 2 3-layers masks are easier for little kids than KN95 masks?

[Anonymous]

But not 4 or 6 year olds?

No, I don’t think cloth is easier.

My preteen prefers the N95 to cloth and surgical masks.

They are not requiring this. Read the email. They provide various options, including KN95.

My 11 year old wears a KF94, because there are no N95s for children. It is required for her youth orchestra rehearsals.

I assume your guidelines will actually allow a KF94, but you'll have to find the smallest size - look on Amazon for "KF94 4-8 years old", or something.

Our family has always found N95, KN95 and KF94 to be much more comfortable than fabric masks. My children have worn then for 12+ hours door-to-door for an international trip this summer. They are light and stay off the nose and mouth, which is great.

My 8 year old wears one. What’s the issue?

^ forgot to say that my 11 year old is tiny, with a tiny face, and she fits into the 5-8 year old size of KF94, which is why I used her as an example.

Stay home then

There is no issue here. Kids don’t care. Put your kid in the better mask.

No virtual option

OP here. My kids were really hoping to get rid of the masks once everyone was vaccinated. They were really happy to do it for this reason and now they need to wear a much worse masks to avoid getting a cold.

It’s ridiculous

We are asked by the HOS to do this for 30 days until the wave has hopefully passed. You seem pretty selfish and insensitive.

I think your kids will live.

Still can stay home without virtual. We all have choices. They are providing asynchronous for those who object to what they are offering in person.

Home school or deal with it. I find KF94s and KN95s more comfortable so do my kids- who knows, maybe your kids won’t mind them. We all want to be done with masks but keeping schools open is more important. Have you seen the current case count?
