[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are we still arguing this. Kids can unmask now. We aren't going back. Not sure what the point is of continuing to argue.

For what it is worth. I volunteered at our school this morning. I greeted students so I saw pretty much  saw everyone and probably saw under 10 kids unmasked (this is ES).

Interesting, I saw the opposite at our N. Arl school. Less than a handful (including my child) were masked in their class. School dynamics by location are certainly interesting!

I don't understand the shaming of people who continue to mask. It's almost as if some of these parents are don't know where to focus their energy now that kids are in school, in person, unmasked. They've been raging for so long they can't appreciate where we are now.

For our family, we need to wait and see a bit. Our child has epilepsy and it can be triggered by illness. There's not enough known about how COVID would trigger their seizures yet so we're being careful because we can. We know how flu, strep, etc trigger/don't trigger because there's been decades of research. That being said, we're happy for the other kids who can shed the mask.

PP here - This is S. Arlington, mostly child of color and in the zip code that has been hardest hit by covid. I would imagine that is the reason for the difference.
