[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm burning all my masks today.  LET'S GO!!  My middle schoolers don't want to take them off for cosmetic reasons (they also want to see what their friends will do), but I'm so happy about this.[/quote]

Cosmetic reasons?[/quote]

I believe that, many kids this age are super conscious of their looks and don’t mind hiding behind a mask.[/quote]

My 6th grader said that the teachers polled the students.  Out of a group of 36 (two classes that they know about), there are 5 students and 1 teacher that would opt out of wearing masks.  The rest don't find it onerous, and DD said that the kids are happy to hide behind their masks for as long as they can.[/quote]

Or they are too scared to raise their hand. [/quote]

Potentially. My DS is in 4th and has come home reporting when so and so got their second vaccination shot. His class seems to be pretty openly discussing it, complete with kids whining about why they had to go to the Government Center when other kids only had to go to the Giant. No one has asked the kids opinions about masks at school so who knows what they are thinking. [b]I do know that his entire basketball team is wearing masks during games. They play at a ES gym and the masks are not required but a note was sent home asking parents to have the kids wear mask because of COVID.[/b] At Scout meetings I have to remind a few kids to pull theirs up over their nose and they do and it stays up.

I doubt any of them like wearing masks but they don't seem to be put out to be wearing them. I'll be interested to hear what happens at his school on Monday, I suspect most of the kids will be wearing masks and that it will be a while before things change. [/quote]

Wow. Bizarre. Which league is this? My kids have played in two different leagues using FCPS gyms this fall/winter and no kids are playing in masks. [/quote]
