[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]

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]

Of course they are going to be segregated. The masked kids don’t want to sit near your kids or work on projects with them. Especially if they have a parent or grandparent with health issues at home. [/quote]

They will be segregated because they still have to try and follow the CDC guidelines as dictated by state law to what extent they can.  They will be distanced further from the rest of the kids.  This is actually the diocese policy.

The maskless parents are not thinking this through and if there kids are unvaccinated they will be quarantined and kicked out at any in class exposures, because that is what the guidance says as well.

Our school wants them all to be masked. And thankfully the early reports are only a handful of kids are not wearing masks.  We have teachers with health issues, etc.  These maskless kids are the same ones that jumped into our school when public school was all virtual because they needed in person.  Now these same families are trying to cause outbreaks in our schools with their stupidity, and then we will have to shut down.  We have had ZERO spread in our school and have been in person all of last year. The safety procedures have been amazing.  Now we have these knuckleheads going to ruin it.[/quote]

At our school its the opposite.  The more seasoned parents want masks off.  They know what kids are missing.[/quote]

Where are you located?  We are in Arlington and I feel like our population is fully of very liberal/highly educated types who want masks because we fear outbreaks sending us to virtual.  I spoke to the admin and very few kids opted out of masks (under ten total for the school).[/quote]

[b]And there it is: "very liberal/highly educated types" who are so much more virtuous than those dirty conservatives at your kid's school, right? A fairly repugnant attitude on your part.[/b] [/quote]

meh, might be right.  liberals are more likely to sacrifice for the good of all than a conservative.[/quote]
