No problem. It's an incredibly charged conversation.
People want to ignore the social impacts of maskings/distancing/etc on children. It's a real problem. Pediatricians are seeing more and more kids on anxiolytics and antidepressants. Teenage suicides are being ignored. PK3-PK4 kids are having language development delays.
If you truly believe "there's no downside to wearing a mask, just put it on" you have your head buried in the sand.

Maybe the most damning thing in all of this is the absolute lack of interest shown (by everyone who can do something about it) in answering the questions: what are the downsides of mask wearing and social distancing? What are the effects on the millions of kids who couldn't go to school anymore? Etc etc
These are the same people who will absolutely neuter the second amendment and claim they are doing it for the children.

Thank you! It seems there must be a happy medium between protection and isolation. It would help tremendously if parents with greater concerns about COVID, such as how exposure may impact grandparents they regularly see, could strategically place their children in self-contained classes with other like-minded parents. To me the issue with policies seems to be the great numbers of students in each local Catholic school that are all affected by that one school’s policy. It makes sense why some parents with the means to do so, have chosen homeschooling, learning pods, etc.

There are going to be a ton of kids this age in speech therapy. They need to be able to see and read lips at that age

more and more kids on anxiolytics and antidepressants
Kids under 18 aren’t usually getting on antidepressants. There’s a huge black warning label on them for this so doctors aren’t really prescribing them for kids. Most kids with language development issues aren’t happening at 4 years old. It’s an intellectual development issue that happens around a 2.
