Anonymous wrote:It is the policy it says in the reopening guide masks may be required temporarily when there are outbreaks. Probably more than 1 positive in the class. You can't have it both ways - you either want schools to stay open and operational and will support that by masking when needed, or you want covid to spread like crazy and all the staff be out sick. Seems like an easy choice.


Welp, that's a false dichotomy if I've ever heard one...

Covid is gone? No one has it any longer?


The time to fear it is gone. For most people after vaccination it will be like a flu.


Exactly. They're trying to avoid having an entire class out with the flu. What is complicated about that? Just wear the damn mask so we all don't have to deal with a kid home sick.


I hate to bring this term back but boy are you moving the goalposts. MCPS is not wearing masks to avoid the flu, nor should they.


There’s a small group of people pushing for permanent masking. Many refuse to admit it, but the only acceptable off-ramps for masking to them are either eradicating all infectious diseases or rebuilding every school.

Way to teach your kid to walk down the path to being a delinquent. Parenting fail.


Following the duly adopted policies of the district is being a delinquent?



Teaching your kid to not respect the school's wishes and see what they can get away with before they get caught? Yes. Really crappy parenting. Wait until they pull that crap on you. And they will, too, because that's what you're teaching them is acceptable behavior.


You seem to be talking about the principal that isn’t respecting the district’s policies. I agree that sets a bad example for the kids.


Can you show us the actual policy because the one I saw said things can change depending on covid.


"Masking may be temporarily recommended or required in local outbreaks, high-risk situations, or, more broadly, when COVID-19 community transmission is high."

https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/reopening2022/#health

The principal is apparently using a Chinese, not CDC, definition of outbreak. This would be consistent with the zero-Covid response described by OP.


Lol. I don’t want our principal (or anyone else) taking cues from China. Especially when it comes to Covid.

Sorry, I'm not as easily fooled or impressed with that kind of word play as the Trumpsters. Fail.

Because no one minds having the flu. And at multiple times a year.

Not enough to make my kids wear masks for 2 weeks.

And they take it off to eat, so it’s all theater.


There is outdoor seating option so you’re playing theatre and they masks is for 10 days drama queen.


Listen unless the kids are wearing proper KN95 respirators, fitted tight without any breaks (so those rainy days on indoor lunch or your Larlo needs to pick his nose). This variant is so contagious that cloth masks and surgical masks are pointless, and any break is basically game over.


Level 3 surgical masks are ok.


But no elementary classroom is wearing them continuously and few are fitted. And are they enforcing Level 3 surgical (which I am skeptical of anyways)

+1
I like what the pp said, the time to fear COVID is gone.


You don’t dictate what one fears.


You’re the one trying to force everyone into masks.
