[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go ahead and keep arguing all you want.

The HS kids have voted, regardless of what some of their  parents are telling them to do. They were already wearing their masks much better than before when we got back from break, presumably because of the surge,  and they've been basically stellar the last two days. I even saw a few in the hallways who were double masked, which I don't recall seeing before.[/quote]

+1 This is the case at our MS too.  [/quote]

My MSer reports the same. High school students in NYC walked out over lax safety protocols in their schools. I could see the same thing happening in Arlington and Fairfax Counties and probably parts of Loudoun too.[/quote]

Meanwhile the elementary are over it and keep asking how much longer they have to mask. Most sane parents I know who are able to rationalize risk no longer want their young kids masked and are quite aware of the fact many other nations have not masked their youngest kids and been just fine. Some kids have spent 1/3 or more of their lives masking now. We were watching an older movie over the weekend and my first grader remarked on the fact that people in a crowd were not masked. He asked me if that was what it used to be like “back in the 1900s.” But yet all along we’ve treated children as young as 2 the same as MS and HS kids even though they are at a very different developmental stage and risk. It’s utter stupidity.[/quote]
