I’m genuinely confused as to what the problem is.

Not OP. To me there are two problems:
1. Peer masking is not a reasonable accomodation because of the lack of evidence for benefit and burden on others.
2. This scenario is inevitably going to cause serious staffing issues at the school that means a lot of kids suffer - eg classes cancelled, huge classes, not being allowed to take the class unless masked.

Actually there is a lot of evidence to show the benefits. No, it clearly is not an issue.

There is NOT good evidence for peer masking.

Actually there is but you just choose to pretend it doesn't exist.

“ The association between school mask mandates and cases did not persist in the extended sample. Observational studies of interventions are prone to multiple biases and provide insufficient evidence for recommending mask mandates.”

+1. We've bent over backwards for too long, just desperate for our kids to be in school. I'm not doing it anymore.

I would request a meeting with the school to discuss it in person.[/quote]'



Wow. Wearing a mask is "bent over backwards"? You're a pretty nasty piece of work. If you presented that attitude to me, I would double down, LOL.

peer masking was never imposed prior to covid.

+1. Don’t rewrite history. Masking DID NOT EXIST in public settings pre-2020.

so this is about “attitude” and punishing people without the right attitude - not about whether masks work. got it.

Again - why are you confusing compassion with reasoning? Pointing out that peer mask mandates don’t help isn’t being “uncompassionate.”

who are you to say it doesn't help? do you know this child's situation and their doctor's recommendations? of course you don't.

I’ve read all the research. They are doing this to make the child and family feel better, not for any clear risk reduction.

You are so self absorbed. It’s easy to find a random article to prove your point. Your lack of concern speaks volumes. This is a nonissue. You opt out of the classroom.

I’ve read many many studies. The fact that you refuse to engage shows that this is not about “the science” for you.

And I'd spit on your face. You have no right to force my child to wear something or deny him an education.

Exactly. There is no issue and the one’s screaming about masking are the same ones condemning those of us whose kids are still virtual. If you don’t want your kid masking opt out of the class. Not hard. I’d love a class like that.

lol. if you still have your kid in virtual out of fear of covid, I don’t think you’re qualified to post here.

OMG. The antimasker Covid deniers are rich. First they say the vulnerable kid should stay virtual but then when one does, they mock that too as "fear". You ppl will never be satisfied.

They’ve made it clear they don’t care about vulnerable children who may impose a “hardship” on their little snowflakes. At least until it becomes their child…

Spit in my face, babe, and I'll have you arrested for battery.

Plus, no one is denying your adorable child an education. We'll just move him to the worst teacher we have for his grade level. [i]Have a great school year, kiddo![/i]

The US was unique in masking elementary school kids, and I don’t think any Western country masked toddlers.

wtf is wrong with you? No one is forcing anything, all you'd have to do is move your snowflake to another class.

Holy shit the amount of hand wringing by the anti vaxxers/covid deniers is crazy. This is such a non-issue.

^^I’m a DP from the “spit on your face” PP. I am NOT a covid denier - I and my kid are vaxxed. But I am adamantly opposed to masking.

We aren't talking toddlers. We are talking elementary or older kids.
