[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A number of kids were removing their masks during the day, I’m told.  I witnessed the 6-8 graders putting their masks back on as they left school to catch their rides home.  I was mortified.[/quote]

Wow, I hadn’t thought of this.  Presumably those kids’ parents are expecting them to wear masks throughout the day and haven’t opted out. How are schools and teachers going to enforce it and keep track of who is supposed to mask and who isn’t?[/quote]

Yes I agree our school has not done a good job communicating that they are no longer enforcing masking. Our teachers don’t know which kids have opted out. [/quote]

Right.  If this is about “parent choice” shouldn’t the school be enforcing masking for the families that have opted to continue?  Seems like it should work both ways if the whole underlying premise is parental choice for each family.  Hmm, guess that was actually just a cover for unmasking, huh?[/quote]

Teachers have too much on their plates already. They cannot spend more energy policing maskers vs. non-maskers. This is why optional masking will be a sh*tshow![/quote]

I haven't read this thread, but I have a question.

Optional masking should mean that kids can mask or not, depending on choice. So a kid can mask today and not mask tomorrow, depending on choice. Why should the teachers be policing what kids do on their choice on any day? When a behavior is by choice, and choice can change over time even for a given kid, then there should not be any tracking of any sort. [/quote]

Some parents would like their children to keep their masks on. Teachers cannot monitor those kids. There is only so much multitasking they can do. Also, I think if a kid is masked and vaxxed they might be able to quarantine for fewer days if a there is an outbreak in the classroom. However, most teachers will not be able to remember who was masked during the day.  Basically, maskers might still end up having to stay home as long as non-maskers. Basically, just another mess. Thanks a lot Bishop![/quote]

Vaxxed quarantine rules are the same for masked snd unmasked students. Zero days. No quarantine required. [/quote]

But not so for unvaxxed.  Also, those who have tested positive and return on day six must still mask around others.  Who will keep track and enforce all this?  Much simpler to continue with masking for all.  This is a mess.[/quote]
