​@@FleurPillager Masks, if worn properly (which can be done with proper education), greatly reduce the spread of COVID. Kids can, do and are getting and spreading COVID. While small, the rate of child hospitalizations and deaths is increasing (see Texas). If you live in an area with low vaccination rates for adults/school workers, and a high case rate... masks should 100% be required for kids. High school especially. The mistake was keeping kids out of school. THAT was the detriment to their well being. Masks are about as annoying and impactful as a school uniform.

Children are so much more resilient than a lot of their parents.

[@ztodd]

Children adapt easily. They are humble. They accept whatever they are taught. So the question is, are they being taught what is best for them? Have you considered that making them wear masks might actually be making some of them sicker?

[@FromHeadToPumps]

@@ztodd LOL are you serious? I'll pretend that you're actually really that ignorant and answer your question - no, masks are not making them sicker. They are learning a valuable lesson about caring for others and working together as a team for a common goal. They are doing what needs to be done to stay in person. They desperately need to be in school and the reason we haven't shut down is because my school has a strict mask requirement that is enforced. They are incredibly behind from having to be virtual for over a year. I will happily teach in a mask for 8 hours everyday to do my part in keeping them in school. They want to be in school and don't complain about wearing masks! It's the parents who complain and set a bad example for the children!

@@FromHeadToPumps Thank you for being a intelligent person with common sense. These parents are disgusting and disgraceful.

Because the adults understand better than an eight year old that we are being hosed by bull crap. If you think for one second the virus won’t get through your paper or cloth mask, you are literally out of your mind.

[@FleurPillager]

That's just a slogan. Try to bring something specific to the table to debate, like the actual science behind mask recommendations for young children. You can't because those studies don't exist.

[@SuperCouchproduction]

@@FleurPillager This is a stupid argument, majority of the country is you HAVE TO wear a mask if you aren't vaccinated, most kids are not vaccinated.

[@FleurPillager]

@@SuperCouchproduction Asking to see science is not an argument it's a request for information. You can't make decisions without information.

[@SuperCouchproduction]

@@FleurPillager The information is clear as day, masks work. If they didn't why do dentists and surgeons wear them? To play dress up?

Yes I believe in being able to choose as well. But the world does not revolve around just me or just you. This is about everyone.

This is about our freedom. Soon we will need booster every 8 months every year for every human. We all will be made to have a app or a bracelet scan to enter any place, maybe even just to leave your home. Where is you breaking point ? How many shoot will it take for you to break and say enough is enough. How much of your freedom will you sacrifice ?

[@PinkCheetah011]

@@oliveyee6135 Exactly, I want my freedom to be able to walk in a coffee shop and not have to social distance, I want the freedom to be able to be close to friends and family and not worry about passing this virus on to people I care about. I want the freedom to be able to go to work as a health care worker and freely move about without having to suit up in PPE from head to toe. I want all the freedoms we use to have. So I'm not going to be dramatic and say "I'm not wearing a mask because it's infringing on my freedom". I'm going to do whatever it takes on my part to try to help us get out of this, because we've already lost so much of our freedom and I want it back.

[@rosaramahi1651]

The parent that said “kids do not wear them properly”, ummmm when the parents acts like the mask is not needed then the kids are going to feel the same. Lead by example. Since day 1 I have made it important for the kids to see that I’m wearing a mask and wearing it properly. My kids could wear mask alllll day with no complaints. One of my children is asthmatic. No issues! My kids wear them even if all the other kids around them don’t. That’s because we tell them how important it is to protect themselves and others. Just wear your masks and your kids will follow suit! Geez. It’s not taking your rights away-it’s protecting those who can get very sick from this virus that we don’t know much about. It manifests differently in each individual case. Why take the risk? Be safe everyone… it’s not over yet. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mychemicaldaze9483]

If you feel you need a mask fine. But the rest of us have to right not to put a cloth muzzle on our face if we don't want thank you.

[@hcplsmf]

So true, and they are kids after all so they need reminders regardless of what is being enforced.

[@mychemicaldaze9483]

@Crystal V In 2009 the h1n1 (swine flu) broke out and nobody wore masks or stopped going out. I had it and was out of school for 2 weeks. Then went back. That's it. No mask No vaccine and I felt like I still had my freedom. FYI I'm not saying don't take it seriously I'm stating that freedom is important.

[@Bri01192010]

If kids aren’t wearing them properly then they need to be taught how to wear them properly. Kids are taught things everyday. It’s not a big deal to teach your kids proper mask hygiene and proper way to wear a mask. If you don’t know then ask your kids doctor for help.
