Subject: school mask requirement, other restrictions Tue Jun 30, 2020 6:54 pm
Okay, I can understand precautions must be taken once school opens to keep our children safe. I can do along with the temperature checks, and class size limits of not more than 50, which in our area school classrooms are not half of that size. The issue I am having is how do you expect my 5 and 12 year old son to sit in a school 7 and half hours a day wearing a face mask? I understand we need to contain the spread of Covid19 but expecting children to wear something on their face all day long is really expecting too much out of them. Children get irritated easily, which means you will have 25 kids in a classroom complaining to their teachers daily about having to wear the mask, or playing with it using it to blow their nose in, covering their eyes with it, or trying to use it as a slingshot to fly pencils across the room. It is a struggle with my 5 year old right now to make sure he keeps it on going inside a store for less than an hour. I hope the Governor, CDC and the State Board of Education in Illinois please reconsider this before school starts. With all our modern technology there has to be another way other than making our child uncomfortable in school all day long,

I know exactly where you are coming from Rhiannon, I am doing battle with Teagan right with this mask issue.
