[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, if a student in your child’s class has cancer, you’re not willing to have your kid mask?[/quote]

My child is deaf. Your child will not wear a mask so my child can read her lips. Cancer student should stay home.[/quote]

How about your deaf child stays home since she can't hear? See how this works? [/quote]

A sigh language interpreter in the classroom doesn’t interfere with other kids ability to learn. Special software that helps communicate doesn’t interfere with the other kids ability to learn A mask that makes it harder for a Teacher and classmates to be understood interferes with their ability to learn. One kids accommodations don’t interfere with the rest of the classes ability to learn while the other one does. See how that works? [/quote]

Ever heard of a peanut free class? See how this works? [/quote]

Yup. Reasonable. Telling kids no nuts in a classroom. It doesn’t interfere with a kids ability to learn. Reasonable.

Also reasonable, swivel chairs, resource teachers pushing into a class to work with kids, pull outs for kids, fidget toys, 1 on 1 aides. There are a whole list of things people are fine with. Why? Because it helps the kid(s) who needs it and doesn’t hurt or inconvenience all the other kids. Keeping the kid in the room who throws things and hits and hurts people, not reasonable. Telling every other kid that they have to wear a mask? not reasonable.

It is called balance. Most people are not arguing about reasonable accommodations but there are more and more signs that we have moved beyond reasonable.   [/quote]
