[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you unhappy because it feels like masks will come off sooner than is safe? Or are you unhappy because parents can't opt out on Monday?

I think either way, very very few kids are going to opt out. Even the most anti-mask families I know are planning to keep their kids masked until Feb 14. I do appreciate at that our district doesn't plan to deny education to kids whose parents opt them out of masking. In most cases, this is not the kid's decision and they shouldn't be denied an education. There are ways to mitigate the impact of a handful of kids showing up without masks, all of which can be implemented without illegally denying a child the right to an education.

My kids will be masked for as long as the mandate remains in place and until they feel like they want to opt out. As of now, they have zero desire to drop masks and said that they'll wear them all year. Note that we don't have KN95s because they're backordered everywhere, so my kids are in facial decorations, as the CDC would call them. I think this is a bunch of security theater unless/until we can get kids into better masks, but whatever keeps the kids in school is fine with me. [/quote]

Vida is shipping within a week. Not back ordered. Bluna is harder to find. [/quote]

I have been ordering Vida masks for kids and getting them quickly.  I ordered ahead anticipating delays and now have more than I need for now.[/quote]
