[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]

There was very little spread in schools last year, because students were WEARING MASKS!

What "other effects" on children occur due to mask wearing?  Source please on this claim?

Provide evidence to your own statement.  It's only your opinion, and that of many others that desperately want their kids in school 5 days a weeks at all costs, that masks prevented the spread.  There were too many other variables in place last year to scientifically conclude that masks had any impact on spread.

I'm glad masks did not impact your child.  All children are still welcome to wear them if it makes them feel safe.

But others, especially the vaccinated, should not be forced to wear masks to make others feel safe.  There are other things they can do to prevent spread and still get the most out of school.  They can wash their hands, and not come to school when they are feeling sick.[/quote]

Not opinion. Evidence based on research. Not emotion.

Masking is part of a mitigation strategy that includes hand washing and staying home when sick…they all work together to be effective.
