[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The poster who keeps making these threads is obsessed and ridden with guilt. Look, just take care of your own kid, lady. All of your lobbying and spamming various message boards about how horrible day care workers are for wearing masks with your kids is just getting really sad.

Basically you're all up in arms and telling a bunch of minimum wage workers they have no right to protect themselves but they must enrich your child's life because you're too busy to do it yourself.

That's not their problem, lady. Teach your own kids to talk. [/quote]

You keep posting the same lies over and over again. It's pathetic.Just because you post it a lot, doesn't make it true. I have seen nobody advocating for prohibiting child care workers from wearing masks. Stop lying.[/quote]

I think this is a hard issue and, like so much of the pandemic, a reflection of societal failure. Daycare workers are poorly paid and now that BBB failed there’s little chance of immediate improvement. There’s definitely an element of classist i. acting like the poorly paid worker has to forego protection, so the kid in a higher SES can develop speech normally. However, most parents don’t have any choice but to use daycare. They are often basically going pro paying for it. So what is the solution? There really isn’t one. According to WHO, children under 5 don’t need a mask at all, but we live in such a broken society that we’ve pushed the most stringent precautions upon the least influential but also less vulnerable population.

Of course it’s bad for speech development. Trying to argue that it isn’t is just pure denialism. I do know this. In another 5 to 7 years, when public schools have deteriorated further, due to a lack of funding and an exploding population special needs kids, there will be threads on here blaming parents for their children’s special needs. Of that I am 100% sure. I just hope I’m not still posting here then, but that’s my journey. [/quote]
