[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There might have been a wee bit bit of hyperbole in PP's post, but I don't think there can be any question that isolating/masking young children during two critical years of development will impact them negatively, both educationally and emotionally. How could it not? Its not only unnatural, its unnecessary and completely counter to what every other developed nation has done. This is not normal.[/quote]

THIS.  The US has been an outlier in the world and now DC is an outlier in the US.[/quote]

And by all suggestions, we are going to continue to be an outlier.  This is pathetic and the people in charge should be ashamed that they aren't following PUBLIC HEALTH GUIDANCE.[/quote]

This is absurd. It is irrational and insane to be the only ones in the entire country to continue to force children to mask. WTAF. Mayor Bowser should be ashamed of herself.[/quote]

People are going to laugh at me but whatever.  My daughter's preschool here in MA dropped the mask mandate this week.  We land in DC at the end of the month.  It gives me half a mind not to start her at the pre-K we lined up because I don't want her going back to this, especially in a new classroom environment.[/quote]

I am a PK parent in DC and I will not laugh at you. That would be sound and responsible decision-making. See if you can find in-home care. It's not worth a few months of PK programming. Hopefully the madness ends this summer and your kid can go next year without this stupidity.[/quote]

Another DC PK parent, please don't come to DC - zero PK students here have a problem with wearing masks a few more months until they can get vaccinated - it's their crazy, foaming parents that don't want to wear masks. Kids who can be vaccinated should be vaccinated. Kids who cannot yet be vaccinated should wear masks indoors. It's not that deep. And if you won't get your kid vaccinated or have your kid wear a mask inside, home school with the other fundy cultists.  [/quote]

The idea that an adult- and presumably a mother as well- would burden her child and force her into a pawn situation like this is truly horrifying

You will be talked about in therapy for years to come, pp, as your poor kids try to get past what you’re doing to them. [/quote]

Uh what?[/quote]
