[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the love of God. If you want your kid masked, then go to Public school. Stop
trying to have your cake and eat it too.  [b]At Catholic schools, we want it optional. [/b]  It’s the parents choice.  They are children. Shame on any parent putting a mask on their innocent child. You’re a bad mom. There, I said it. [/quote]

No, “we” do not. [/quote]

Yes, “we” do. [/quote]

Did your school survey parents about their mask preference? If so, do you know the result?  If not, you are simply speaking to your preference and experience.

Let’s let the Department of Health and the CDC, the experts, make these decisions. [/quote]

Ours did and thank goodness the ant-mask parents were FAR and away the minority.

Nobody likes the idea that our kids will have another abnormal year. But the situation is still active and perhaps even increasing in complexity for those kids who are not yet eligible for vaccines. Especially in k-8s, there is no choice but to offer protection all the way through the youngest students. Full stop.

As others have pointed out, I have no doubt that this is what Jesus also would have done. If you are only focused on the impact of masks singularly on your own kid, I would reflect on whether being part of a Catholic school is really a good fit for your family. [/quote]

Perhaps Jesus would have told the unvaccinated to stay home until they were vaccinated. That would be far better protected.

So your view is that only middle schools and high schools should be open for in-person instruction? That's wild and not supported by &lt;checks notes&gt; any science.

Mitigations last year (including masks!) kept kids of all ages in school. [/quote]

Also, many schools in the diocese only offered hybrid to kids last year. And it was the older grades that were forced to stay home. These schools were relying on distancing and masks last year to prevent spread. Masks were not magical alone. It was the spacing. [/quote]

Which Arlington Diocese schools forced older grades to stay home last year?[/quote]

I want to know too. Which school was this?

Our Arlington diocese school is requiring masks for K-8. [/quote]

Same. I don’t believe PP.[/quote]
