[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The OP is not entitled because she thinks she wants to ask the school to reach out to her kids class and ask if kids would wear masks because her kid is vulnerable. She is advocating for her kid and asking people to do something, not make it mandatory. Classrooms adjust behavior and expectations all the time. DS loves snacks with nuts but he cannot bring those to school because a kid in his class has a nut allergy. So the snacks with nuts stay at home. I am sure some classes have large accommodations for classmates.

There is a way to say no politely without being an ass. You can think that mask wearing is theatre and still be polite. I am not a huge fan of masks but it is a comfort thing for me. I wear masks when required. DS is the same way, he wears it without complaint but prefers not to. He would wear it if it could help a classmate feel more comfortable at school, even if we didn’t think it was all that effective. [/quote]

Do he would pretend to be helping someone stay safe by covering his own face in school for another year? No chance face coverings don’t impede communication, social learning, and kids’ sense of identity. OP this isn’t zero cost to our kids and there is no evidence it would make an impact on transmission. Why haven’t you told us what your doctor said? My father is immunocompromised and was told to stay home until vaccinated. Not to leave the house, period. [/quote]
