[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCCPS is maskless starting tomorrow!  My kids are so happy. They hate masks. They feel bad for a few friends of theirs who have really nutty parents that don't understand risks.[/quote]

I guess I'm one of those "nutty" parents. I actually do see the risks... of viruses, which is why we'll be remaining in masks.

I can't get behind the "masks are hurting our children" argument. I wear a mask 8-9 hours a day at work with absolutely no problems. My children wear masks with no problems, as well. It's not hard. [/quote]

You're also an adult with higher level executive functioning and language and social emotional skills.

My second grader for the longest time this year and over the summer at summer camps continued to say that they did not have friends. I could not untangle that assertion because this is a very social and outgoing and playful child. Even their teachers countered that my child is always interacting at lunch and on the playground, etc etc. and that they have not witnessed any instances of my child being alone or isolated. ,

I finally realized that I think a large part of that mismatch has to do with masking. I think my second grader is often unable to see the facial expressions of their friends and therefore not as readily able to identify emotions or pick up on nonverbal communications and connections. [/quote]
