20 out of 24 kids at Woodson Pyramid elementary class are still masking.

Norovirus is going around our elementary school with gusto.
I have told my 3 girls to keep their masks ON this week. Fingers crossed that is helping kids stay free of these other germs floating around.

Plenty of kids came out of our elem school today maskless.

Update:
Today, 20 are unmasked (out of 26).


Are you masked? Curious if the kids masking at all correlates to whether teacher masks.


I wasn’t, but yesterday the 15 who were unmasked came in unmasked and had no way of knowing beforehand that I wouldn’t be masked.

The number seemed pretty typical of the grade level.


Had 6 or so masked again today. Looks like that's where it might stay for a while. No issues between any of the students. Business pretty much as usual.

Sorry that auto corrected. UNMASKED. More kids were unmasked on Weds.

Looking at the numbers today on the NYT tracker, looks like we are plateauing. People who chose to stay masked, and keep their kids masked, might be in it for the long haul.

As an adult, it is weird to finally see peoples faces! And an adjustment because they look different than you thought.

Despite what everyone has been dedicated to, it’s not normal
Human social behavior to wear a mask like this for months on end.

That's horrible. What a sad commentary


But, not surprising? Vulnerable age. It will take time. My daughter was hesitant on Tuesday. By today, she went unmasked.

Interesting… can’t figure out if this is a good or bad thing…


I think it's a bad thing, personally. And also the acne is probably being worsened by the mask. Vicious circle.

I’ve had this talk with my 8th grader. She didn’t know people had braces until halfway into the year. And masks have covered her pimples a few times. She said masks were good because of this. I wonder if you will see more girls keeping their masks.

Just dropped my kid off at middle school and a hoard of about 15 kids ran out full speed into a crosswalk without looking as I was turning onto a side street. But at least they were masked.
