[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, if a student in your child’s class has cancer, you’re not willing to have your kid mask?[/quote]

Nope. There are home based teaching options if you are that medically fragile. [/quote]

Yikes. The pandemic really has broken some people, hasn't it? [/quote]

This was never required before the pandemic.  Masking wasn't a thing, even in cases with medically fragile people.  [/quote]

Yes it was. I saw people at work who were going through treatment for cancer and other illnesses masking. We masked to visit my FIL who was sick.

It wasn’t common but it happened.

That said, home bound school exists for a reason. The problem is that it sucks and doesn’t work well. Everyone has been through enough distance learning to understand why home bound is not a good program for kids who are sick. So I get why parents want to avoid it. I don’t know that I would want my kid to wear a mask or that it is reasonable to ask an entire class to wear a mask. There are kids who need to read lips and read expressions and masks hurt that.
