Get the kids back in school - full time - with no mask mandates.

Both remote learning and masks are detrimental to learning .... particularly for young children.

I can't help but wonder how many people here - a mere 2 1/2 years ago - were seeking advice on how to limit screen time for children.  And, now, in many places they are plopped in front of a computer for 5 or 6 hours a day.  This is not healthy.

Nor are masks - especially for young children.  They need to see faces and smiles.  They, like adults, take cues from facial expressions.  Speech for the very young can be impacted by masking.  
And, then there are the psychological issues.  If your child likes to wear masks, or "doesn't mind" wearing masks, I would worry.  This is not normal.

I saw this today too.  Maybe people are starting to wake up to the risks that these mitigation efforts have on children.  Seems the risks are higher than the virus itself.
