[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. I didn’t have time to put on makeup and my mascne isn’t gone. 
2. It’s a show of solidarity for the kids. 
3. How can we expect such a huge ask from our kids when we can’t be bothered to wear one 2 minutes per day?
4. I live with someone who couldn’t get vaccinated and don’t want to take even the small chance. 
5. Habit. 
6. I don’t want to talk to anyone. 
7. I have a cold. 
8. I don’t want the RSV that’s been circulating in our school. 
9. I’m going to the store right after and it’s easier to wear it up than have it pulling under my chin. 
10. To piss you off. 
11. I forgot to brush my teeth. 
12. Shall I go on? [/quote]

This thread is about why schools still *require* masks on parents outdoors, not why you love wearing them. :roll: [/quote]

But are they really required though?  Has someone made you leave school property for not wearing one?[/quote]

It’s official policy. I occasionally ignore it, but I’m one of the few who do. I bet lots of (most) parents only wear them because they are rule followers. So the policy definitely has power, in conjunction with peer pressure.[/quote]

DC is the land of blindly following rules regardless of how effective or useful they are.  For such an educated region of the country independent thought is really lacking.[/quote]

Couldn’t be more true. The hysteria I continue to see by vaccinated folks has me frightened. I belong to PG pool and some of the posts of members there have me worried about the future of DC. Some of the super hysteric ones don’t seem much different than the anti maskers stuff the beginning of pandemic.[/quote]
My conclusion about most people I've met in DC is that they may have a lot of degrees, but few of them are actually educated, critical thinkers. They've checked all the right boxes in life to get where they are, but outside of their particular area of expertise, they're painfully provincial.

Anyway, I haven't worn a mask at pick up or drop off at our NW elementary school since I got vaccinated in early March. The school sent out some e-mails about the supposed rule. I deleted them. A teacher once stopped me and asked me to put on a mask. I ignored her and kept walking to go get my kid. I've been done with pandemic theatre for months. [/quote]

You go girl!  Noting so liberating as refusing to engage with someone asking you to follow a rule that all the other parents and kids are following.  I bet when the other kids ask their parents why you aren’t wearing a mask they hold you up as a beacon of rebellion [/quote]
Yes, it's quite liberating to ignore stupid rules.

I don't really care what the other kids and their parents think of me. I'm just there to pick up my kid, not be buddies with some random parents on the playground.

Whay should I care what strangers think of me? [/quote]
