[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the love of God. If you want your kid masked, then go to Public school. Stop
trying to have your cake and eat it too.  At Catholic schools, we want it optional.   It’s the parents choice.  They are children. Shame on any parent putting a mask on their innocent child. You’re a bad mom. There, I said it. [/quote]

Im at catholic and want masks. I don’t think you have your finger on the pulse like you think you do. That said, my kids are in grades 5 and higher. Maybe younger kids’ families feel differently. [/quote]

My kids are the same age as yours, and I am in favor of mask optional.  Optional is a great approach because it allows each parent to do what's best for their child,  In the end, masking will have very little effect on spread in schools because 1) there are so many mitigations in place  at schools 2) as shown last year there is very little spread in schools  2) Masks are simply not proven to prevent virus from escaping or being inhaled its just the only thing we have for the unvaccinated that make us feel any kind of hope.

Masks can have other effects on children especially given that we are going into the 2nd full year of possible wearing them. This is not a short term solution at this point.

Everyone needs to weigh their Child's risk

Mask optional is a thoughtful approach for all.[/quote]

Masks are really the only mitigation schools are doing at this point other than maybe keeping windows open.  Enforcing distancing is impossible.  The best for your own kid argument only works when it's something that can't effect others.  If I decide that it's best for my kid to not treat them for lice and send them to school, but it's okay because it's what's best for my kid and your can always wear a cap to protect their hair.  Totally absurd, right?  So is your argument.  [/quote]

100% agree with immediate PP - masks are the ONLY mitigation strategies being considered, at least at our school.  Thus it's really important that everyone masks.  Can't believe some of these responses. [/quote]
