Perhaps if by "the rest of the planet never masked kids" you mean "some countries (mostly in Europe) relaxed their mask policies earlier than we did"...

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

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

UK never masked elementary school kids.

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

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…

They are just basic a-holes looking to trash others.

Didn't the older teachers take issue with that? Do they just not have strong unions?

Most school districts have remote education for seriously ill children available.

I suspect almost all of the kids families will opt them out so the kids will be moved to other classrooms and the seriously ill child will end up with a private tutor.

It is a virtual signaling event. If we are not talking about N95 masks appropriately fitted on everyone that stay in place then we are not talking about a safe environment for an immune compromised child.

What about walking through the hallways? Will they eat by themselves? Will parents drive them to or from school or will they take the bus?

Feel for the kid, hope they fully recover, but cloth masks on elementary school children is not the answer.

You are stretching. You don’t feel for the kid. It’s not a sign or virtue. It’s a tool to stay healthy.

No a few have virtual schools and most have a tutor for an hour or two a week at best.

+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]

No need to meet in person, just ask to be moved to the other class.

You simply don't get it. It's not just covid, but colds and flu. Not all of us are as blessed as you. I'd be thrilled for a classroom like this.

Would your kids be thrilled though? I posed this question to my 7th grade boy. He says he’d choose to move to the other class.

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.

By saying “many many” you sound like Trump.

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.[/quote]

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

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][/quote]

Of course you're a teacher andf you can't even vigure out the formstting. See the dregs you get in that profession?

OP- tell the school that your child has one 'medical situation' that prevents him/her from wearing a mask and another that causes him anxiety if his/her schedule is disrupted so they can't be moved either.

Back their spineless a## into a corner.

What is the age of the kids?
Is it a single 45-minute class per day, or a full day or half day?

Well, that, and to let everyone know they are an anti-Trump family. Lets not pretend the mask hasn't become part of the Alexandria limosuine liberal uniform.
