OP seems a bit out of touch with reality at this point.

Protect them from a cold? Teachers and staff should be vaxxed and boosted. There have always been risk for immunocpromised during winter flu season. The good news is that n95s are readily available for them and their family members. What exactly is the end game? If there was reason to believe masks would only be required during the surge it’d be more tolerable. But yes I do have a real issue with masking little kids who are learning to read and speak properly for years in end. What is the end game?

OP here and I agree 100%. There is no end in sight. Let the people in poor health stay at home or use the N95. Kids need to live a normal life at this point… it has been 2 years which is a third of my 6 year old’s life and 75% of my almost 3 year old’s. Let the kids get Covid and recover. Enough with the hysteria. My nieces in Florida are not required to wear masks at all and the world did not fall (and they never caught Covid either).

This is beyond ridiculous at this point and I can see why the other side is making fun of “us”.

The “other side” are low information idiots. I assure you as intelligent people, we don’t give a damn if they “make fun of us” like insecure middle school boys.

Those of us on the other side think you are the unintelligent one who does not have the ability to read medical data and/or papers to form an opinion that might differ from those around you.

It’s ridiculous

You sound like such a a pita op! I am vaccinated, boosted, in my under 50 and healthy and have covid now and my chest kills and it is a bit scary - having difficulty breathing so this covid pandemic is not over quite yet and you don’t want to get it.

I think the Beauvoir policy is great! I have been extremely impressed with the school's COVID protocols. And if families refuse to comply, they should homeschool this winter and spend that time looking at other schools or enroll in their local public school. The contracts for the 2021-22 school year will be out soon, and I imagine that Beauvoir could easily find another family who would be happy to take the spot of anyone who refuses to comply. Call the bluff of those who complain. They won't be going anywhere.

Yeah, you guys are single handedly ending the pandemic by making 5 year olds wear N95s all day at their $40K per year kindergarten. Congratulations. You win the most virtuous signaling.

I agree with OP. These masks are much more uncomfortable and more difficult to breathe in than cloth masks. I’m tired of adults asking kids to do things most of them won’t do themselves while they wfh. It will be tough on teachers but teachers get breaks throughout the day during which I’m quite sure they’ll remove their masks. We’re asking little kids to wear these masks literally all day without breaks. At some point we need to figure out a better solution. I know very few adults making the same sacrifices we’re asking kids to make and it’s beginning to feel abusive.

I do not have words. We all need to do what we can to prevent COVID in kids and everywhere.

If OP was in my shoes the tune would be different. If we get exposed or have COVID we cannot visit a dying parent. We protect ourselves best we can but when others do not have compassion for society? What can I do?

So OP feel blessed that putting on a mask is the worst of your troubles today. And please consider “just a cold” can severely negatively emotionally impact MY kids.

But… sadly… I doubt u will hear my plea.

And please don’t tell me I should keep my kids home. School keeps them busy and with friends and helps them to have normalcy in their lives.

Yes, dear, we know that the dumb people think they’re smart and we’re dumb.

Then mask them in a 94 or 95, send them to school and for the love of God, cease your incessant childish whining.

Sorry, PP. I didn’t mean you specifically about the whining. I meant the anti mask whiners, obviously.

Not ending the pandemic, but ensuring the safest school environment possible given the COVID numbers in DC right now. Some kids do get very ill, sadly.
Np btw

You are asking if someone with COVID should visit an already ill person? I wouldn’t have recommended visiting a person on their deathbed if you have pneumonia either.

Your kid will not be wearing a mask “literally all day without breaks”. Like teachers, your child will continue to remove their mask to eat and drink.

Put yourself in a kn95 too then. I just upgraded our full family to them.
