If your chid was wearing masks indoors at school at the end of last year...

Please stop with the threats.

It's not a threat, it's a transaction. If you don't value me, but I value me, I have options

Every parent will value their child first and foremost as they should.

No,‘it’s about you, not your child.

And teachers value themselves and their families over your kid - are you surprised by that?

As a teacher I value both, so I would part ways if it came down to a choice I had to make. Not in the moment - ie, if I had to help a child in a normal workday I of course would (including at personal risk). But long-term decisions about Covid risk that did not place value on me? Those are easy dots to connect .

What Covid risk do your students place on you? What is the solution?

My rising 6th grade chooses to wear a mask in some situations for himself when community spread is high. No one is forcing it on him. Take your unkindness you try to disguise as fake pity and stuff it.

This is well traveled ground..some schools have reasonable, well balanced mitigation in place. That's what I look for was a teacher, as well as support for prioritizing health (among other school related matters) until we are through this.

My child stopped wearing a mask when the school stopped requiring it (late March). She hasn't worn one since. Somehow, we all survived and everyone else in the school community survived too! (That was a joke--of course everyone was going to survive.)

No one in our family has gotten covid so we will keep taking the middle road-follow the rules of the school, respect other people's choices, have a mask available, aside from those rules it's up to you whether you mask or not. Last year, the school required masking until late spring and the kid chose to wear a mask until the end of the year, this year I think she will choose not to wear a mask.

There are plenty of families who have worn masks only when required by law and who still haven't gotten covid either (that they know about). . . .

We all just got covid, so no, probably not for the next couple of months.

Only if a lot of cases pop up in the class or our family has a known exposure.

My 2nd grader wore his mask all school year, his choice. After a summer of mask free camp, I doubt he will wear one for 3rd grade. Plus he probably wants to show off all his newly missing teeth.

Don’t let the door hit you where the good lord split you.

Not that you’re even a teacher . . .

Both my kids in sixth and third grade will wear kn95/94 masks. It never bothered them and is safest for our family right now. Not really big deal and is one more tool in our mitigation strategy. Vaccines help. Lower numbers in class. Outdoor lunch. Ventilation and masks. All good things that help protect your kids and loved ones.

My kids wore a mask when we felt number of cases were high. Of course this is so subjective because it was what my husband and I considered high, no real science behind it. So for this new year, we will check numbers and see how we feel about masking again.
