re: My CHILD is being PUNISHED at school for not wearing his mask properly. UPDATE pg 10

Send a note that your child isn’t a nazi

Be honest. How many kids do you have?

Is this your oldest child?

I taught my kids to question authority a good bit at a young age, seemed like a good idea at the time. Now that they are teens, I’m the authority they question and it seems like a terrible idea.

Agreed. But, we have to make a few assumptions and I'm not talking about nose scratches.

Why can't he wear his mask correctly like his friends? I'm assuming he's been wearing it correctly since August. He was probably being a little shite, and you should hold him accountable.

For just a moment, set aside your personal disagreement with the specific school rule at issue. Imagine a DIFFERENT rule ... one with which you DO agree (e.g. no throwing erasers at other students during class).

How do you envision a school district being able to enforce that rule, if the District is precluded from inflicting any punishment for violations?

Did these tax money chasers change the handbook or outline their requirements in writing of this rule? Specific guidance given on the “proper” way to wear a mask?

If not... demand they hand you a copy of it.... when they can’t.... demand they offer an apology and exonerate you child.

This has to be the first step of challenging the results. You need to see the document in the handbook that spells out the "proper" way to wear a mask. You also need to document when you, or your child, notices teachers/admins not following these rules and ask what is the discipline for the staff setting bad examples and showing kids the "improper" way to wear the masks.

He's almost 9. Has NEVER gotten a disciplinary note/call/infraction nothing. Makes good grades and recently got the award for integrity and honesty in his class.

As a principal in a public elementary school, I push back against teachers writing up kids for not wearing masks. We have to be aware of how hard it is for students to do this all day!

And don't let people say you are excusing your child's behavior like other parents. Couldn't I tell you all some stories where parents actually excuse their children's behavior. I actually had a parent try to excuse their kid for choking another student!

You are your child's best advocate!

Ask the teacher if he was properly trained in use of the mask before handing it out.

As an employer, it is their responsibility that employees (students) have proper training for PPE.

Ask her also if she is certified to train the students on the proper use of the students PPE.

Are there readily available established guidelines in place and is that teacher qualified to make that assessment?

My kids are in private schools to avoid as much bs as possible. Tell me about my commie leanings.
