[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My high schooler says that the worst of the judgmental remarks come from other students, not the teachers.  Parents:  please tell your kids to wear their mask if they desire and to respect others' decisions not to.  [/quote]

My HS kid know better than to say anything.  But, she also doesn’t want to be around unmasked kids. And, it’s her right to decide where to eat lunch and to ask for changes in seat assignements and to hang out with other masked kids.  If your kid feels judged, it’s probably because they are being judged. [/quote]

+1. My kid doesn't say anything rude or mean but she also doesn't want to be around unmasked people and I won't force her too. People want to take their masks off, go for it. But if people have a reaction to that it is their right. [/quote]

+2. Decisions have consequences.  It’s a good life lesson for your kod.   I would hope no one is unnecessarily rude to the COVID vector kids.  But I can certainly understand why the HS kids with a lot to lose if they have to isolate for 2 weeks would steer clear of unmasked kids. Especially since kids who make high risk decisions in terms of masking are probably engaging in higher risk COVID behaviors outside of school.

Your saying COVID is over doesn’t make COVID over. Especially when FCPS has such draconian exclusion policies. COVID is only “no worse than a cold” when my kid only has to miss a day or two of school while symptomatic. She’s already missed two spring plays. She doesn’t want to miss this years as well. Or spring break. Or prom. Or APs.  Etc., Etc.  She plans to wear her mask and avoid the IDGAF kids and the kids making political statements. [/quote]

You do realize contact tracing is over? There is no reason she needs to be out 10 days. Just send her back when she’s better. You don’t even need to test anymore or notify the school. [/quote]
