Maybe a small minority in DC. The very vast majority of the country doesn't mask kids in schools anymore.

Also, not a small minority in all parts of DC. Our DCPS is 80+% unmasked. It's also highly vaccinated. Parts of the DC population seem to prefer masking over vaccines, which betrays a high level of misinformation about what actually has a significant impact in terms of lowering Covid risk.

My DCPS school is over 75/80% masked. This is WOTP. So I’m not sure there is the misinformation problem.

Anyone ignorant enough to wear a cloth mask has to be assume to be ignorant enough to not get vaccinated.

I don’t see anyone in cloth masks. They are all in KF94 and KN95. Also a highly vaccinated school.

I don’t know why you are so concerned about other peoples choices. I guess it burns your eyes to see it

NP. Every kid that's masked is a kid whose social cues are more difficult to decipher for my autistic kid. So yeah, I privately wish more kids would unmask. Nothing to do with my eyes.

Yep. My hearing impaired son lip reads. If it weren’t for masks people would have no idea he has hearing loss. But I realize people like the PPs don’t care about kids like ours.

Have you considered private school for deaf and hearing impaired?

You people are awful. The solution for all special needs kids is not to sequester them away with all the other special needs kids so your “normal” kid doesn’t have to interact with them. You suck.

. Uh-huh. And yet your answer to people with immunity impaired children is “die it out.” Your hypocrisy is stunning.

+1

Just goes to show that all this virtue signaling about “protecting the vulnerable” by masking is a façade covering up an obsession with Covid as the only risk that matters. It’s all about their own interest and priorities.

Literally no one has said that except you. No one. So you can carry on being an awful human.

NP. No, that’s nobody’s answer. An immunity impaired child can protect themselves with a well fitting mask. Nobody wants to take that right away from them or any child, not even the posters above who have explained why other children masking impacts their kids.

The problem with PP's comment is that it suggests she believed that all of the cloth masking done by children did anything at all. So, she never had a really logical point in the first place. What she cares about is the performance of appearing to care about immunocompromised kids, instead of policies that will actually help. Masking in schools is a wonderfully performative way of caring without actually requiring any of the effort of making substantial changes.

School choice. Choose a new school. Problem solved.

You would think that parents would flee a school with such a hostile approach to science and policy expertise. Embarrassing so many do not. I’m

Probably a similar reason why many are fleeing DCPS.

LAMB just wrote and cancelled in-person parent-teacher conferences, seems to have no date for lifting indoor mask requirements. Is citing community case rates increasing for reasoning.

Also says most charters are doing the same.

It's amusing to watch you go from posting on on PS to immediately coming to DCUM to report out!

But will you also say anything at all on the PS thread, or are you just an anonymous follower?

You’re not talking to me but I’ll tell you- lamb parents will literally bully and trash anyone who dares to disagree with the administration.

So wild charters are so behind with COVID stuff. I can’t believe parents aren’t more frustrated their schools are doing their own thing without regard to what the city has said and DCPS is doing. Happy to be at DCPS where things feel pretty normal these days, thankfully. I’m sorry this happening to so many families still after 2+ years.
