[quote=Anonymous][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]

My kids are no longer masking in school.  I've told my kids to be compassionate but I understand why HS kids want to steer clear of the kids that remain masked.  [b]They are clearly suffering emotionally, and who knows what they will do next.  [/b]

The high schools kids don't have anything to lose. The school is not contact tracing anymore, so there is no rational for masking just to avoid quarantines.  If you want to test every time your child has a sniffle, and alert everyone you know that she has covid, and stay home for 10 days, and skip all you plans.  That's on you.[/quote]

If that makes you feel better . . . many what a self-serving view of the situation. There is someone suffering emotionally, PP. But it isn't the kids. I hope you get the help you need to get you through this trying time. LOL.[/quote]
