[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird excuses. My kids don’t have to mask at recess and don’t lose masks. They come hime wearing the same one they started out with. My youngest is in kindergarten and can figure this out.[/quote]

Good to know your experience with your (max of 5, but probably 2-3) children can be generalized to the entire population of an elementary school.  Weird and warped understanding of the world when it is only based upon your family’s experience.[/quote]

DP.  I work at a public school with over 1,000 students.  Our compliance rate for masks is 99.999999999%.  Do we have to remind 7 or 8 kids out of 100 to put their masks up ALL the way over their noses during classes or during transitions?  Sure.  Because the dratted things slip but we have virtually no students who are purposefully noncompliant.

As an aside I was at a different school for a few days this week.  I was in a multitude of classrooms.  I saw the same high level of compliance for masks, including and especially for the little ones, about whom you seem to be generalizing.  They were happy as clams and there was no drama associated with the masks.  If anything their masks were tighter and had closer fits than the ones for the older kids (who have to wear adult masks which are generally too big).

Those of you claiming that kids cannot wear masks are teaching your kids that they cannot wear masks because you cannot wear a mask.  If you would get ahold of your own anxiety and manage yourselves better then your kids would not be having problems.  Please remember that your kids follow what you model.  When you model stable behavior then your kids will follow it barring any mental or physical health issues that might preclude it.  And those are very rare.  Most people can wear masks and there is only a very, very, very, very, very small percentage of society that cannot because of sensory issues or physical issues.[/quote]

Of course they can wear the masks.  Some of them don’t like it.

They can wear them.  They do wear them.  They’d prefer not to wear them.

I find it amazing the number of you that are arguing with this.  It seems so obvious to me it would be true.  Why would they like it?
