[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have a problem with kids continuing to wear masks in school for the rest of this school year, but I hope that in addition to no quarantine there will be no mask requirement for vaccinated kids next year. [/quote]

No, this a bad idea. Masks need to be required for everyone (all students), or optional for all. It’s too hard keeping track of who is & isn’t vaccinated, and it’s unfair since minors can’t make their own health care decisions. 
Also, imagine in 6th grade when half the kids are old enough for the vaccine and half aren’t. [/quote]

If there is to be no quarantine requirement for vaccinated kids, presumably they’ll be verifying status anyway, right? They can just tack on masks to that resolution. Vaccinated = no quarantine requirement, no mask requirement. Maybe they could give a distinctive rubber bracelet to kids whose families provide proof of vaccination, and kids can opt to wear or show the bracelet in lieu of a mask. Sixth grade keeps all masked to avoid hurt feelings until 11 and under has a chance to vaccinate. Sorry about the kids whose families don’t get them vaccinated, but that’s no reason to keep the entire school population masked when our society is moving on. If the transmission numbers are low enough I think it would be fine to not require masks in school at all.[/quote]
