[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m vaccinated and my employer doesn’t require masks. I won’t be wearing one. I can’t imagine vaccinated teachers want to scream over a hot mask all day?![/quote]

As a vaccinated high school teacher who taught most of the year in a mask, I'd much rather wear a mask all day than have to enforce mask wearing for some but not all students.

I vote for masks for everyone, until it's safe to have no one wearing them.  I think that schools need to drop restrictions one at a time, wait see if numbers go up, and then drop something else.  Dropping those restrictions that lead to hybrid -- usually distancing and cohorting, first makes the most sense.  Once we've had 5 days of school for everyone but the small segment who choose a separate virtual school, and we've kept spread low, then we talk about dropping masks.  [/quote]

It will never be perfectly "safe" for everyone to go without a mask. That's a ridiculous standard to set. Vaccines have been available for months. Anyone who doesn't get one is taking the risk upon themselves. Responsible people who get vaccinated shouldn't have to wear masks as some sort of supportive safety theater to protect those too irresponsible to protect themselves. We don't ask people to drive 20 miles below the speed limit on highways to "protect" those who refuse to wear seat belts. Enough already.[/quote]

Why don’t you hold off on all the “enough already”s until all kids can get vaccinated?

Then put your kid in an N95 mask (which will screen out 99.99% of virus particles) and send them to school.  They will be protected against Covid and influenza (which is definitely more deadly to your child than Covid).

You can't expect the rest of us to mask our kids indefinitely because your child is medically complex.  Are you really that self-absorbed?  [/quote]
