[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good luck in finding the childsize anywhere near the volume that would be needed.

And good luck getting kids to comply with using them.[/quote]

oh we have them. I just want more of the classmates to have them. Most are still in cloth masks. [/quote]

Focus on your own kids and their masks. Please let other parents manage their own child.[/quote]

This.  I’m fine with my kids in cloth masks.  You do what works for you and let other parents do what works for them.  TYVM[/quote]

Oy
But your choices impact my kids. As well as all the kids in the school. There's enough data out there showing cloth masks aren't very good at protection from omicron (see Leana Wen's most recent op-ed)[/quote]

Oh quit it with that nonsense.  Lots of choices that other families make affect your kids.  Do you complain when kids eat breakfast in the classroom?  They are eating unmasked and that affects your kid way more than my kid in a 3-layer cloth mask.

If you are THAT concerned about your kid catching Covid (which is fine, do what works for you), then you should have chosen virtual academy.

Or is this just about how you want to be able to control everything that everyone else does?[/quote]

Our kids eat outside. They have the choice and we signed up early on. The breakfast kids eat in the cafeteria, not in class. Virtual academy doesn't work for our family for many reasons.

No, its not that I want to control everything. Its that I'd like the school not to close if we can do something more. Also, I have a parent with cancer that I care for regularly and would rather not infect him. [/quote]

Well since your kids eat outside and not with the poors who get the free breakfast, and they’re wearing your high quality masks the rest of the time, they should be good right?  If all that is not good enough for you then you should have chosen VA (which you would have been accepted for due to the cancer parent).  We can’t have everything we want right now, you either accept the risk with in person (which sounds pretty minimal for your kids) or the drawbacks of virtual.[/quote]

How do I explain this clearly?
Low grade masks don't work well. 
[b]Transmission is very high in Moco[/b].
Many of us want our kids to continue in school - the best way to do that is to keep teachers and kids safe.
I am not worried about my kids getting covid, personally. They are vaxxed, low risk, and like most of us in this country, have access to reasonably decent health care if they do get it. They will be fine. I don't want my kids, their classmates, or their teachers to get it because it will close down the school. Schools closed for months at a time is far worse than my child getting covid. [/quote]

What you are seeing still is the community spread, not school spread. Start by putting the community in N95 masks. Why it’s ok for shoppers, restaurant goers and essentials to be in surgical and cloth, but force elementary school kids into KN95. [/quote]
