[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd signed up for a class that is foundational to her learning path. The school  was unclear about the mode of instruction till the last minute. Now the professor has made it mandatory that all students attend in person, with consequences if they don’t. The state I am in is a raging COVID hotspot and as a parent I am upset at this decision. I do not want my DD to face the risk of sitting in class. It’s a 2 hr class to boot and I can’t fathom how she can focus with a mask on her face, for that long. What is a logical way to address this with the school, without losing my mind?[/quote]

I feel badly for anyone who spent time sympathizing with this OP. You’ve been had. This is an absolute troll post.

Are you for real? Why would this be a troll post? I’m worried sick for our safety. 
OP[/quote]

Your child is a grown a** adult and you are trying to solve this situation for her. And while they might take her concerns seriously, no one cares about a 20 year old’s mommy.

My youngest child is not a grown a** adult. She’s 7.  And has been practicing wearing a mask for when school starts next month and masks are mandatory FOR AGE 2 (PK) AND UP at all times except lunch.  She’s at 6 hours, no issue with a run around outside and lunch break.  We need to get her to 8.

So yes, if my elementary school kid can wear a mask for a full day (no hypoxia!) and attend school, your adult can. And if she can’t, it’s time for her to learn self advocacy.  Unless you plan to call her manager at her first job and ask if she can turn her assignment in late because of a family vacation?
