[quote=Anonymous][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. [b] If I decide that it's best for my kid to not treat them for lice and send them to school, [/b]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]

I have been waiting for someone to bring up the LICE thing. It is such a great parallel.

Good work, PP.

When the kid who does not want to wear a mask (parent-permitting) tests positive and the class has to quarantine, and they all go virtual for 2 weeks, they should have to reimburse the masked families for tuition. Maybe 20 times $500 or whatever will make an impact.

My kid had to quarantine about 5 times last year (pre-Vax) and once again, post vax (not everyone was vaccinated, obviously).  It was hard to keep paying for school but we stuck it out as everyone did.

At this point, people who want to say parents choose what is right for their child, they can foot the bill. You break it, you bought it. [/quote]

Im not anti-mask, but there’s been a huge push in recent years to not send children home because of lice, arguing that the disruption to education outweighs the health concerns and many area schools no longer do so, so not sure your argument is as compelling as you think.[/quote]
