[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher at an elementary school where kids have to wear masks all day, including at recess.
Very few kids have a problem wearing their mask at recess.   I supervise recess duty for half an hour daily at my school for first graders.  They all are perfectly able to wear masks.  It simply isn't a problem.

My child’s teacher made a similar comment. I was blown away because my son constantly asks when he can stop wearing it. [/quote]

Yeah, with all due respect to the teachers, the kids do what they're told to do but my daughter asks at least 3 times a week when she can stop wearing the mask.  Just because they follow the rules, doesn't mean "it simply isn't a problem".

It's hard for these young kids to navigate social relationships with each other and new adults when they cannot see any facial expressions.  Also some of them still have speech issues they are working through and the masks make it even more difficult on this front.  It's not normal.  To me, of course mask indoors where the benefit is still evident at this point in time when they are not able to be vaccinated.  But masking outside is theater and it is has real negatives that outweigh doing it.[/quote]

Ignore that “teacher”. Her lack of empathy and her simpleton brain where little CHILDREN are expected to behave like robots is a major giveaway of her… capacity.

The sooner we get rid off this control tool aka masks the better. [/quote]
