[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]

Funny enough I have an MS in childhood development and a specialty certification in ASD.
So no, masks aren't the end all be all for children. If your child gets speech, the speech therapist will likely wear a clear mask for the session, only to help them see the movement more clearly, NOT for the child to understand what they are saying.

Please stop trying to validate not wearing a mask, solely because you or your child doesn't like it.[/quote]
