[quote=Anonymous]Last night I read the materials from the Urgency of Normal website and it really rang true to me.  There was a time that strict protective measures were appropriate but that is not where we are today.

Now we have increasing evidence of the harm done to children from the “we have to do everything to avoid the spread of covid at all costs” approach to life.  Beyond the issues with kids mental and emotional health and life long impacts of the lesser education students are receiving, there is the increasing concern that kids immune systems are not developing as intended and when a worse variant comes, they will be even more susceptible to it.

My family has been pretty locked down for the past 2 years but I can see the toll it is taking on my kids.  We are trying to normalize things as much as possible outside of school but the truth is that school takes up a good portion of their waking hours.  To me, right now is the right time to stop mandatory masking in schools.  Give everyone a chance to normalize and reset before the possible need to ramp up protections in the future.    [/quote]
