[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I find it funny that Catholic schools that give choices about nothing (not even sock color) this choice is a good idea on this of all things [/quote]

+1000! great point[/quote]

Yep.  Maybe I can just cite “parent choice” and opt my child out of our Catholic school’s dress code.  We find the fabric itchy and not breathable enough.  Nobody can possibly be expected to have those fabrics touch their skin for 7 hours a day!  It’s not good for their social-emotional health.[/quote]

I would LOVE to say that when my little kid has been dinged because I allowed them to were short, non snow boot tie ugg boots in an appropriate school color to keep them warm at recess or when on dress down day they wore shorts of an appropriate length that weren’t gym shorts.  My choice to keep my kid warm at recess or cool and not in a weird outfit in the spring. [/quote]
Please just move your kid to your local public school. This is obviously not a good fit for you. [/quote]
