[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]

Wow, you really don't understand kids! (hint: they are all going to do this!)[/quote]

They can't though.  They have to opt out (at least in our school) which requires paperwork.  If they don't opt out they must wear a mask because they have to be distanced more, etc[/quote]

You also don't know how classrooms work. Teachers have said they aren't "tracking" paperwork and don't have the bandwidth to be on this all day. The cool kids were the first to take them off,  as they are more confident. Over the next few days they'll all be down or off. ;)
Also, segregating the class is going against the direction the diocese gave in writing that no student would be treated differently. When parents find out their maskless child has been segregated from the class they should contact the diocese immediately, etc.[/quote]

What is this obsession with the cool kids? This is your second post about it. So weird that you are so invested in the social hierarchy at your kid’s school. Do you have some unresolved issues about that from your own childhood? I could easily see the “cool kids” of a different class or school making the choice to keep their mask on and others following. Super weird that you think unmasking is somehow cooler. Very immature and says a lot about how you’re raising your kids. It’s like your cognitive development stopped at high school age.

Also, changing a seating chart is not segregation. Teachers change seating charts all the time for various reasons. Kids not wearing masks are not victims.[/quote]

Look my kid is wearing a mask.  But putting masked kids on one side and unmasked on the other claiming it's a [b]"change to the seating chart" is bullying,  [/b]You may not like the change, and I don't either, but do you really want teachers and admin[b] bullying kids at the school for any reason[/b].  You can't know why every kid has chosen to unmask.[/quote]

STFU.  Not Bullying.  Seriously.  Can we stop using that term for things that we don't like or behavior that we don't care for/or is slightly mean?

Bullying - seek to harm, intimidate, or coerce (someone perceived as vulnerable).

Separating non-masked from masked is not intended to harm anyone.  It is following health guidelines and try to prevent the spread of a virus.[/quote]
