[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is deciding whether good masking protocols were followed well enough that no quarantine is warranted for unvaxxed kids? I doubt any school/teacher is going to say they’ve been lax about masking, but some will be. And then there’s lunchtime… [/quote]

I'm a teacher with a baby at home and I'm pretty worried about this. My school is masks required but not enforced. In the spring there were multiple kids who would flat out just not wear a mask and would roam the room and halls (which is totally normal for my school). If there's a class of 20 kids and 3 of them don't wear masks, if there's a positive case, will they tell us which kid it is to confirm whether he/she wore a mask?  Probably not. I bet they will just assume all kids wore masks all the time.[/quote]

This can't happen. It needs to be enforced. I would bring this up with your principal AND if need be, with all the other staff and parents, because it isn't ok.

And yes, you certainly should let the admin know if there is a positive case that you observed that child with no mask, they don't need to tell you who it is, they only need to know which kids are failing to wear masks well. Not that this should be allowed under any circumstances.[/quote]

I'm at a school that for a variety of reasons, enforces nothing. There's just literally no way to enforce it. The kids generally don't want to be in school, the families can't keep them home, and if they are home they won't be doing online learning. It's a pretty lose-lose situation. The staff that taught in person last year raised the issue and got no where. The truth is that these are kids who probably shouldn't be in a traditional school setting regardless of COVID, but there just isn't an alternative setting available.[/quote]
