ADW Mask Policies

[Anonymous]

Looks like ADW is poised to drop the mask mandate in the coming weeks as cases, positivity, and hospitalizations continue to plummet. Keep the pressure on for mask choice parents!! These kids have suffered enough.

No indication they are consulting with or considering teachers in this decision.

Agree. Hopefully teachers have a choice to unmask too!

Spoken like someone who doesn’t care that one of our colleagues at our DC Catholic school recently passed from COVID.

It’s a choice. Teachers can remain masks if they want. Vaccines and one way masking works!

This is about choice. Teachers are able to continue to wear their masks. 2022 will be all about one-way masking. High-quality masks are now plentiful.

“One way masking.” Isn’t that cute and catchy?

Since when does the Catholic Church promote choice?

Catholics know better than to refer to to mask-wearing as "suffering." There is real suffering in the world. Christ suffered. Calling mask wearing suffering is just whining, so offer up your "suffering" as penance for your tone-deafness.

How long do you feel kids need to cover their faces? Seriously. There is suffering. Luckily in Catholic schools there is a sense of community and love and the kids have been more resilient than public schools, where we are witnessing a severe mental health crisis brought on by a multitude of things like isolation and, yes, masking. But it is happening on a smaller scale and is only a matter of time. Time to let children start to experience normal social interactions with their teachers and peers.

+1 Catholic schools have been amazing during the pandemic. my kids are thriving. they've never had a covid test. or had to quarantine. or had to listen and experience the endless fear mongering in this area. they've been in person since september 2020. now it's time to let them unmask and move on completely.

What a lesson to teach them to move on with their own carefree lives while others around then suffer with illness and death.

Surely there’s a Bible teaching someone in here…

It isn't suffering. I'd love for them to end, but I would never equate a piece a cloth to real suffering. It's a PITA for sure, but the drama drumming has to stop. That is what is destroying community.

The problem is a "piece of cloth" does nothing. In order to prevent transmission, the recommendation is kn95 or n95. Try wearing one for 8 hours. That is suffering for a child.
