Sorry meant county.So strange because we are both in the same state. I teach in Westchester and they told us we can't use it. Which country are you in?

I’m not sure I’d be sending my child to a school that didn’t insist on both teachers/staff and kids wearing masks at all times.My daughter's school doesn't require masks and still plans to allow the kids to go to the playground every day. They refused to offer virtual until a lot of us parents threatened to withdraw. It's a charter so they don't have the same rules as the county and they have taken a very no-action approach to the virus.

It's so frustrating. I feel like we don't know who to believe these days. I'm just praying our numbers stay low.Nassau county
Except that if we're really doing what we're supposed to do to avoid transmission of Covid, then cold and flu rates should plummet this fall. My doctor told me this week that flu season abruptly took a nosedive when Covid precautions started.Ok, the emergency clincs or testing sites will be swamped. Idea is the same: it will be a mess trying to figure out whether it is seasonal allergies, the flu, a cold, or Covid. Our good friends who are family practice docs are dreading it.
It’s very frustrating. I’ve read a certain district in neighboring towns will have the high schoolers carry a portable barrier that they will take with them from class to class. Crazy!!! I just hope August numbers stay low and hope that these schools are making the right decisions for our children.It's so frustrating. I feel like we don't know who to believe these days.

OMG that's crazy! I couldn't agree with you more!It’s very frustrating.

This is my fear with school. I have to self report and not enter the building if I have any of a list of symptoms that include symptoms that could be seasonal allergies or a simple cold. I cannot return without a note from a doctor or two negative Covid tests taken days apart. No idea how much leave time I will burn through this year or how they will find subs. We deal with a severe sub shortage in the best of times. I have started taking my seasonal allergy meds now and added daily vitamin C. Just hoping that with masks and hand washing, I will remain generally healthy.Im picturing in my head the Fall and Winter season when people cannot tell the difference between this coronavirus and the seasonal cold/flu. Everyone is going to be suspicious of each other; Doctor’s offices will be booked with people trying to get a note; Diagnostic tests being backed up even more than the one to two weeks that we have in places now.

Yes, agree. I was disappointed in her school allowing shields instead of masks. I could send her in a mask, but if all the kids in her class use shields it doesn’t help.Nobody should be sending their child to a school that doesn't require masks. Children under the age of 10 may not get as sick, but they transmit the virus as well as older kids. (And shields don't do anything)

She is using masks and shields, right? Because you still need masks.They don't? I haven't heard that one yet or possibly overlooked that info. Please tell me why as my sister who works for Head Start is planning on using shields.

Why? Maybe their situation is different from yours. This has been one of the biggest problems I've had discussing this with anyone. What you believe is right in your situation can be completely different than what you would feel is right in my situation, which could again be completely different than what you would think is right in the situation of anyone else.Nobody should be sending their child to a school that doesn't require masks.
