i have a child that comes home looking grey and complaining of a headache every day he goes to school, and another one of my children has a headache that lasts. He has never had this before. He says struggles to breathe with the mask on.
Social distancing and cleaning of hands very responsible ways to prevent spread of disease. Masks all day absolutely irresponsible and abusive to physical and mental health of our children. If we did this to animals, charges would be laid.
Children need connection to their peers and teachers for healthy development and a large petition of that is learning facial cues. Masks have NOT been proven to reduce the spread of any virus ever. Get them off our kids!
Masks are not for everyone. In my opinion making everyone wear masks to stop the spread of respiratory illness in schools is about as silly as making everyone wear a shower cap to school to prevent the spread of head lice.
I don't believe mask in school are doing what they should. The are dirty and wet. Our children should have the right to be kids not worry about adult fear and drama. I belief as a parent I should have to right to do what I think is right.
There is no science behind this and unnecessary.
End the child abuse. No masks anywhere!

Masking for children should be a choice!! Sick Kids in Toronto, recommended no masks for children. I trust that advice. We should not be caving to peer pressure from those who are not health experts. In the short and long term, it will do more damage than good.
