School Asking DC To Mask To Accomodate An Other

It is a homeschool program and it sucks. Even when schools do a good job with it, it sucks. It is limited time with a teacher for each class, solo study, and isolation.

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.

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.

Some of us don’t politicize mask wearing. It isn’t “virtue signaling” if you wear it or being a “Trumper” if you don’t. It’s exhausting to be this angry and polarizing all the time, isn’t it?

Some of us just see this as a way to let another family with a medically vulnerable child have the same things the rest of us have: access to a classroom. It’s such a minuscule ask when you choose not to politicize it.

Plus, the school gave OP an out. Why is this even an issue? If OP doesn’t want her child to mask, take the option and switch. I’m confident plenty of families will stay or even switch from the other class. This isn’t a big deal unless you choose to make it one.

What does the child do in the hallways? Cafeteria? Gym?

This is quite different from the peanut free room. DD was in one and she loved peanut butter, but understood the need.

A mask can be quite irritating to some people--I, for one, wore one when needed during COVID, but chose to skip many events because I hated wearing it--it was stifling to me. Physically stifling. I have a friend who developed a rash because of it.

I worked in an open school throughout Covid, so I was wearing a mask 9-10 hours a day. I never liked it, but I knew that masking was the only way the school was going to remain open. I see this in the same light. My minor discomfort can make a big impact for someone else.

+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.[/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.[/quote]

I love this idea! If my child were immunocompromised, I’d request a private tutor before asking others to mask or make any other changes.

Are the parents masking at home around the child? Are the parents and child going anywhere in public where there’s not 100% masking? Doctor appointment? Grocery store? Work?

I highly doubt this child and their parents are staying

yes we know and you have stated you would result to criminal assault. which tells us all we need to know about you.

Schools were open elsewhere in the world without masks. It wasn’t necessary. The fact you still believe it is disturbing.

then you can request your child not be in this class if the mask is an issue for them, the school is giving them that option. given that, why the objection???

Is the OP suggesting that the kid for whom the accommodation is being requested should instead be told he can’t to school at all? Or is OP’s point that the parents of the whole class should get a vote on whether the mask request makes sense?

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.

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.

then he could move, no need for drama

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

right but if you know anything about education law which you clearly don't, you would know this child has a right to be in school if they can do so with accommodations.

you've read ALL the research and that allows you to know what's best for this child who you have never even met? better than their doctors, parents, and their school?

all i can think of is those fake graves that people put out at Halloween that said "I did my own research."

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.

it sounds like secondary since it's just one class out of the day
