What are your kids saying about how many students/teachers masked today (3/1)?

It will be nice when 2000 Americans stop dying of Covid every day.

Hmm. My kid goes there too and said it was about 50/50. Teachers and students.

Do you have strong opinions about masks? Your kids may be tilting reality to what they think you want to the case. Or what will get you to stop talking about it. Or they are really bad at estimating (which most people are).

+1. I was actually at Chantilly today. It was over 90% masked and almost all teachers. It a plurality Asian school and has always been on the conservative side of COVID precautions. Your kid is lying or you are.

My Chantilly kid said 1-2 unmasked per class at most. All teachers masked. Mine is a senior, and has a lot to lose by getting COVID a and being at home for two weeks. Maybe the kid seeing a lot unmasked is a freshman.

No, I corrected my post. It was my mistake. I thought I heard my kid say it was 50/50 but it was more like a handful, not half. Kid also said students have been walking around CHS with their masks down under their noses/chins since after winter break. So it sounds like it won’t be long until more of them ditch their masks.

My HS kid know better than to say anything. But, she also doesn’t want to be around unmasked kids. And, it’s her right to decide where to eat lunch and to ask for changes in seat assignements and to hang out with other masked kids. If your kid feels judged, it’s probably because they are being judged.

I said I made a mistake. I misheard my kid. Sorry.

Pssttt… COVID? Not gone. Not even close. There have been periods of the pandemic, like last summer, where numbers were much, much lower. We will almost certainly get another varient at some point, and see another spike. But saying COVID is gone because of General Assembly political decisions is ridiculous.

The only ones who believe the CDC?

Too bad the liberals/democrats/progressives disregard the experts and their science

Exactly. Notice the only nasty comments are towards these kids and coming from the democrats.

That generalization is true.

It is also true of today’s Democrats far beyond just the mask issue.

What has happened to your decency and civility, democrats?

Im honestly disgusted how our kids became figures in a political battle. I never really cared about politics and I absolutely don’t care who my friends vote for, I don’t ask and don’t have a need to share my political opinions. Can’t we just be people? When did masks become political statement? I was honestly sad to see so many teachers in masks, I don’t believe for a second that it is for their safety. These people are vaxxed and triple boosted. My kid went to school happy, he didn’t want to wear a mask and I said it’s ok. We don’t talk politics at home and I never bashed mask wearing in front of them. I said it’s what we need to do and will do until district says it’s ok to stop wearing them. Anyways, he came home and said that the majority of his classmates and his teacher had a mask. I think he felt weird, if he asks to wear a mask again, I’ll absolutely let him. I’m just angry that this political pressure is affecting my 8 year old child.

From masks to CRT-concepts in grade school to toilet policies, you have to ask yourself:

- which party is pushing their political agenda in our schools?

And why is that party unable to simply focus on teaching our kids neutral academic topics, instead of pushing their closed minded political views and indoctrination?

My 3rd grader: 10 kids unmasked
My 6th grader: 2 kids unmasked

3rd grader reported a 1/3 of her class (7 kids) were unmasked at the start of the day. A few more had removed their masks by the end of the day.

+1. My kid doesn't say anything rude or mean but she also doesn't want to be around unmasked people and I won't force her too. People want to take their masks off, go for it. But if people have a reaction to that it is their right.

+2. Decisions have consequences. It’s a good life lesson for your kod. I would hope no one is unnecessarily rude to the COVID vector kids. But I can certainly understand why the HS kids with a lot to lose if they have to isolate for 2 weeks would steer clear of unmasked kids. Especially since kids who make high risk decisions in terms of masking are probably engaging in higher risk COVID behaviors outside of school.

Your saying COVID is over doesn’t make COVID over. Especially when FCPS has such draconian exclusion policies. COVID is only “no worse than a cold” when my kid only has to miss a day or two of school while symptomatic. She’s already missed two spring plays. She doesn’t want to miss this years as well. Or spring break. Or prom. Or APs. Etc., Etc. She plans to wear her mask and avoid the IDGAF kids and the kids making political statements.

You do realize contact tracing is over? There is no reason she needs to be out 10 days. Just send her back when she’s better. You don’t even need to test anymore or notify the school.

ES teacher here: the principal and asst principal went on the morning news. One had her mask on and one had it off. They said they this was their family’s choice and that students would sometimes see them with their mask on and sometimes with it off as a way to support everyone’s family choice.

First off, there is an assumption here that everyone who get’s Covid is sick for two-three days and that is it. Some people- even kids are sick for a full week or longer. PP says her daughter doesn’t want to take a chance and miss out on important things. I feel a lot of seniors are probably feeling the same way.

Does she eat lunch by herself?
