[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This would have been nice and I favor safety (and love what DC schools are doing — their plan beats everyone else’s) but no way can APS implement anything like this at this point, Wednesday night before school starts again on Monday. Wish APS would have done this, but no way can they do it now. Ha ha.  I wish.

I will just keep my kids in the weekly testing program and get them the best masks I can. [/quote]

I favor kids’ health, and I know that health is much more than 1 respiratory virus that is less than flu level risk (prior to vaccines) and mental health is extremely important to kids after all that Arlington has robbed from our kids after 2 years in the fruitless paranoid view of “in an abundance of caution.”

That’s why our kids don’t wear masks except where legally required and we only get tested if we’re actually sick. [/quote]

Us too. On a beach vacation now with other families, acting like normal. Kids are excited to be back at school on Monday. They’re very hopeful that masks will be gone on January 15th because they want to see their friends’ faces at school, not just outside of school. Even they know it’s all theater at school to make a few nutty parents “feel” their kids are safe.[/quote]

What is the significance of January 15 that you think masks will disappear that day?[/quote]

The new governor is sworn in. [/quote]

Well, January 15 is a Saturday so I don’t think you’ll see many people at school mask-free that day regardless of what Youngkin does.  But since he just said last month that he won’t block local mask mandates, I don’t think you should plan on anything changing for APS anytime soon.[/quote]
