l making the choice to keep their mask on and others following. Super weird that you think unmasking is somehow cooler. Very immature and says a lot about how you’re raising your kids. It’s like your cognitive development stopped at high school age.

Also, changing a seating chart is not segregation. Teachers change seating charts all the time for various reasons. Kids not wearing masks are not victims.

Look my kid is wearing a mask. But putting masked kids on one side and unmasked on the other claiming it's a "change to the seating chart" is bullying, You may not like the change, and I don't either, but do you really want teachers and admin bullying kids at the school for any reason. You can't know why every kid has chosen to unmask.

Dramatic much? It’s not bullying, it’s logistics. Being unmasked affects the quarantine rules for unvaccinated kids who get exposed to a positive case. Why should kids wearing a mask be subject to longer quarantines because of your choices? Isn’t that what this whole thing is about? Parental choice? Choices have consequences. The reason for not masking doesn’t matter one bit. The outcome is the same.

Perhaps the unvaccinated should be separated! Their choice not to vaccinate effects the quarantine rules If everyone was vaccinated they wouldn’t have to space people 6 feet apart

I agree. Honestly I don't care about masks but every kid in school should be vaccinated. That would solve all problems. If you choose not to vaccinate you can home school. Hopefully next school year will require proof of vaccination/booster and no masks.

Wow, I hadn’t thought of this. Presumably those kids’ parents are expecting them to wear masks throughout the day and haven’t opted out. How are schools and teachers going to enforce it and keep track of who is supposed to mask and who isn’t?

Wow, you really don't understand kids! (hint: they are all going to do this!)

They can't though. They have to opt out (at least in our school) which requires paperwork. If they don't opt out they must wear a mask because they have to be distanced more, etc

You also don't know how classrooms work. Teachers have said they aren't "tracking" paperwork and don't have the bandwidth to be on this all day. The cool kids were the first to take them off, as they are more confident. Over the next few days they'll all be down or off.
Also, segregating the class is going against the direction the diocese gave in writing that no student would be treated differently. When parents find out their maskless child has been segregated from the class they should contact the diocese immediately, etc.

Of course they are going to be segregated. The masked kids don’t want to sit near your kids or work on projects with them. Especially if they have a parent or grandparent with health issues at home.

They will be segregated because they still have to try and follow the CDC guidelines as dictated by state law to what extent they can. They will be distanced further from the rest of the kids. This is actually the diocese policy.

The maskless parents are not thinking this through and if there kids are unvaccinated they will be quarantined and kicked out at any in class exposures, because that is what the guidance says as well.

Our school wants them all to be masked. And thankfully the early reports are only a handful of kids are not wearing masks. We have teachers with health issues, etc. These maskless kids are the same ones that jumped into our school when public school was all virtual because they needed in person. Now these same families are trying to cause outbreaks in our schools with their stupidity, and then we will have to shut down. We have had ZERO spread in our school and have been in person all of last year. The safety procedures have been amazing. Now we have these knuckleheads going to ruin it.

At our school its the opposite. The more seasoned parents want masks off. They know what kids are missing.

Where are you located? We are in Arlington and I feel like our population is fully of very liberal/highly educated types who want masks because we fear outbreaks sending us to virtual. I spoke to the admin and very few kids opted out of masks (under ten total for the school).

And there it is: "very liberal/highly educated types" who are so much more virtuous than those dirty conservatives at your kid's school, right? A fairly repugnant attitude on your part.

meh, might be right. liberals are more likely to sacrifice for the good of all than a conservative.

You desire forced injections for something that is now in line with the flu? Found the big pharma employee!

The same jerks that don't want their kids to mask (who cares if it might get the teacher sick) are not vaccinating their kid - their body, their choice (except for other things).

LOL. Covid a little bit more damaging to someone that the flu. Hospitalizations that put a strain on society show that. I have a friend battling cancer that has had to be postpones (like we have socialist medicine here) because of the strain covid is causing.

Let's just push for vaccinations for all and booster shots and then we can do away with masks and make it normal again. There. Fixed it.

lol you mean the Big Pharma shots that don’t work? Yeah let’s force everyone to get injected by some experimental Big Pharma product that neither prevents you from getting COVID nor prevents you from spreading COVID. Yeah, that surely will solve this problem.

COVID is going to be with us for the foreseeable future and you’re all just going to have to learn to live with it. Your stupid “vaccine” won’t stop it; your Etsy masks and even your N95 masks won’t stop it; it’s going to be a minimal increase in the every risks we each take every day to live a normal life—automobile accidents, armed robberies, viral meningitis, tragic skiing accidents, pool drownings, etc.

You aren’t going to force a “vaccine” into my kids any more than you’re going to force them to live behind a mask for their entire lives to satisfy your paranoia.

Boomers — every time I think they can’t possibly be any more selfish and narcissistic, they surprise me.

Um, MILLENIAL here, not a boomer. Boomers fall into the no vaccine camp dummy.

Go ahead and homeschool. Your poor kids.

If you want your kids to be in school with all students vaccinated, head across the river and Comrade Bowers will take care of you. Don't count on our new governor to mandate (ineffective) vaccines for kids who are not at high risk.

Oh, I will play but proof/study (actual Science) that they are effective. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)02183-8/fulltext

Everywhere. The vaccine does not prevent spread or infection. Every new station says that now!

Stop blaming the unvaccinated.

Do any of these Catholic schools recognize natural immunity to negate masking and quarantine rules for the kids that already had Covid and recovered (with evidence of antibodies from blood tests)?

Wow. You are dumbass. You literally cited "Every new station" as a source. A proper source would be Medline, CDC, Merck, peer reviewed studies, etc.

You want to try again? Or do you just want to move along since you have confirmed to the rest of us that you are an idiot and that is why you won't wear masks? BTW, I have zero issue to reasoned debate. Key word, reasoned.

So for the poster who would like a phase out of masks - yes. That should be done.

For the poster who asked about antibodies from already having covid being a mechanism for not wearing a mask for those that can prove it with a lab test - BRILLIANT. I would be fine with that as well.

But you are just an ignorant hillbilly who doesn't want to do something because you FEEL like it and you like FRESH air and hate BIG PHARMA. You have crap talking points that are not even your own because you are too ignorant to know better. So go stamp your foot and run along now. Adults are trying to have a reasoned conversation here.

I just had an unmasked student sneeze all over the room this morning. Fun times!
