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).

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

OP here. We moved him and the 'sick kid' got a temp.

LOL.

Do you mean a substitute?

[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]

NP here. But I agree with this even if it seems heartless.

I mean I could then make a request for kids not to mask for my ASD kid who already struggles with social cues. I’ll request it in his IEP.

Of course I wouldn’t really do this, I have no desire to try to control other people. But see where this can lead …

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.

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.

Okay then the kid who is asking their classmates to mask can go virtual. We all make life choices and sometimes you don’t get 100% of what you want.

I wrote that to point out the flippancy of your argument. It was basically “too bad deal with it” without acknowledging the position the school is in to now decide who gets what priority when various accommodations and interests conflict.

And if switching to an inferior class is okay for a hard of hearing student, then why isn’t asking the other student to go virtual not your go to response?

why do you think it's going to be an inferior class? There are multiple sections of the same class in a large school. That's normal.

what would be inferior is making the kid with the med condition go virtual. but that seems totally fine with you.

i bet you were one with the open schools now signs who railed against how bad virtual was for your snowflake, yet you are so quick to send the poor kid with the medical condition to virtual. you really really suck as a human.

The fact is, the law only requires a “reasonable” accomodation. If it’s true that there are enough sections of each class that this will not cause any disruption, then it may not be an undue burden. The ineffectiveness of peer masking is what should put it off the table, but the ACLU settlement prevents that.

I have a kid with a disability and I am quite familiar with the limits on what I can expect other kids and the school to change or sacrifice for him. I have zero moral problem with saying that a single child has no right to disrupt the school for an illusory accomodation.
