+1. Do people still not know this??

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.

Most of the planet never masked any age school kid. And they also didn’t have swaths of kids getting long covid or death. It’s performative at best and harmful at worst for a child in a non-fit tested mask they wear in between snacks, lunch and drinks.

Mine still mask.

At school? In ACPS?

You and everyone else sh looks decline and have their kids moved to another classroom. Maybe it will finally put an end to the mask BS that’s being supported by the school.

what will happen is that the kids who do5 mask get the short end of the stick, due to the ACLU settlement. If there’s 1 french class and 20 kids opt out, the 10 masked kids will get the French teacher and the unmasked kids will get a sub, no class, or be added to another class (for a 50 kid class).

So what happens when another student has a disability such as a hearing impairment. My child has a mild hearing impairment and has such a hard time when people are wearing masks. Being able to see the teacher's face is so important for him. So who gets priority in this situation? Why should my hard of hearing impaired kid suffer?

Then your child can be in the other class. This is NOT a problem since the school provided an alternative.

-teacher who did just fine wearing a mask even though I have a hearing impairment

as long as the other class is the equivalent - which is a big question.

Am I wrong to be put off by this? A 'medical situation', without further explanation, could be anything between luekemia and being the child of one of those drama queens that won't let go of the mask because of the politics behind it. I won't force my kid to endure another year of masking to support the latter but I would bend over backwars to accomodate the former.

How do I go about answering the request?

Why can't they move the other kid?

Then keep your kid in the “better” class, but deal with the mask.

We all make choices in life. Sometimes you don’t get 100% of what you want.

What difference does that make? There is going to be one classroom of masked kids. Also, it is extremely unlikely that the basis is someone who is still panicked about Covid for no specific reason. If someone else’s kid has cancer it’s the least I can do to ask my kid to wear a mask for one period a day. I just asked my kid if he would do this and he he said “sure”.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. Not having my kid mask. I have no problem if that kid masks but asking the rest of the class to mask is not appropriate. [/quote]

+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]

You mixed up the formatting, too, bozo.

Anyway, to get back on track. The school cannot legally just take the parent's word that a child has a disability. The disability must be proved and attested to by a physician. And the school district has the right to require a second opinion by a physician hired by the school system.[/quote]

Then you are raising a good human. I hope and believe mine would do the same thing. I still have them mask in some situations, like on a train/plane, in a crowd indoors, doctor's office/urgent care, or the week before camp or a trip when we really don't want to get sick. And they are FINE with it.

Um, or the masked kids will get the random sub and the real French teacher will teach everyone else

Separate but equal has quite a history in our country.

Equal for all means, no masks -- unless YOU personally need it and want it. No totalitarian and scientifically dubious imposition, with its own harming effects on many.
