[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some points made here that don't really stand up. My kid's school requires KN95s or KF94s at this point. If you think cloth masks don't work, why not move to better masks? Also, my five and three-year-olds have no trouble wearing their masks correctly all day. If your child, after 2 years of everyone wearing masks, doesn't understand that it needs to stay above the nose, that's probably on you. My preference is to keep masks in schools until young children can be vaccinated, and potentially during surge periods thereafter. [/quote]

My child developed a severely impairing, though treatable, mental health condition that presented when she switched to the 2s room and started having to wear masks. We didn't realize what it was until 8 months later. Most families don't identify it until years later. There are only a handful of providers in the DMV that know how to treat it. Thankfully we got on one of their schedules last year. On our Facebook group the providers are reporting significantly increased demand. Ours has a wait-list. So yes, there is a downside to this theater.

And yes, it is theater. You may think you are a super amazing parent because your children wear respirators correctly. I sincerely doubt they are actually wearing them properly, and even then your assertion that most preschool age children can wear a respirator correctly (if it actually even fits their face) is laughable. In any case, the government mandates do not require them, they just require face coverings, which most children at our daycare wear under their noses during the 50% of the day when they are allowed to wear them.

Your  kids issues have nothing to do  with masking.   Either they were unhappy in the classroom, genetics or bad  home life.[/quote]
