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]

The executive order frames it as if the parents have a choice.

In reality, the children are running the show here, as teachers have [b]lost the right to[/b] 1) protest when they have to share a room with unvaccinated people who don't wear a mask and are not socially distant and 2) tell children that they SPOKE to the parent and the parent said they want the child do X/Y & Z.

So, yeah, the six year olds are really in charge now.

That always works out great.

Unvaccinated and unmasked kids are not the problem. It’s the kids going to school sick. These are usually the ones hiding symptoms behind masks.  [/quote]

Not quite correct.  You are contagious two days prior to symptoms (perhaps even three) so parents can be sending in infection points without realizing it.  I have to do covid intake reports at my office building.  We are 100% masked and have been since we went back last summer. No one is allowed in with any signs of any illness.  Most comply so we have had very few instances of sending people home sick.  They call in and work from home.  Our infection points have all been close contacts in the day or two leading up to symptoms.

Now, you might ask -- WELL if you are all masked then how is it spreading?  GOOD QUESTION!  We have found that in MOST cases it is because employees are breaking the rules.  They are having in person meetings (unmasked because they want people to hear them or they are healthy), they are eating lunch with one another, and hanging out at one another's desk and they have their masks off.  EVERY.SINGLE.FREAKING.TIME!!!

We have had low to no incidences of transmission amongst the properly masked and distanced even with Omicron.[/quote]
