[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the rationale for dropping masks indoors since they are not vaccinated? I agree, no masks outdoors though. [/quote]

Because they are uncomfortable, interfere with teaching, and uneccesary when there’s extremely low community spread. [/quote]

This is all not a big deal, also a good amount of language is body language, which masks don't cover. Kids will be fine, the only ones I'd be concerned for are those who are deaf/hard of hearing or Autistic.

Masks are a safety measure, kids aren't vaccinated. I'd rather this then MORE distance learning....[/quote]

What are your credentials in the area of child development? [/quote]

DP. But I have a PhD in early childhood education.  The most important thing is getting these kids into classrooms with teachers.  Masks are secondary. [/quote]

Of course. I don’t think anyone disagrees with that, and you don’t need a PhD in ECE to figure it out. That doesn’t eliminate the question of whether masks have negative effects on development, or on the overall school experience, and whether the benefits outweigh the risks.[/quote]
