[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]17:27, have you ever heard the saying that "when you assume, you make an a$$ out of you, not me"?  Because that is precisely what you've done.  You obviously don't know much about the demographics of some of the West End schools.   :roll:

We are a multi-racial family.  Our son is black.  In his statement that you referenced and seem to be taking umbrage about, he is referring to the (few) white kids who go to Hammond.  They were the first to unmask and they did so on the first day.  Interestingly, after little public support, they have begun masking again and he says that towards the end of this week the (few) kids who were unmasked were those who were trouble/d or in trouble of all races.  Other than that, most kids were masked as were the teachers (except that one).  He also says that he and most of his classmates are pretty religious about using the hand sanitizer in each room, wiping down desks and chairs, and trying to be safe.  He said teachers in all of his hand out wipes at the end of class to wipe down desks and chairs.  The same with the cafeteria.  Apparently the school even adjusted the lunch times by a small amount to add in a little extra time for more thorough cleaning.

I repeat that we're very happy with how the school is managing Covid and safety protocols.  If our kids will be in school then we're happy they're in the school they're in because we feel that they are as safe as they can be made from the virus given the circumstances.  If masks start coming off, we'll reevaluate.  Until then, we hope things continue as they are.[/quote]

Wow - I just find this so hard to believe based on what is see at my elementary school a mile from there. It kind of sounds like your son is telling you what you want hear and the judgement of the unmasked kids is completely over the top.[/quote]

:roll:   Go stand outside the school during dismissal.  Watch the kids coming out.  Count on 1 or 2 hands how few are not wearing masks.   :wink: [/quote]
