"Masks should be referred to as a primary means of increasing learning—not the opposite—because kids cannot learn when they are at home sick, in the hospital, or when their instructors are out sick," write Jonathan Levy, Robin Cogan and Esther Choo

@irenetosetti this is bang on! Sick kids at home aren’t learning. I think its the parents and not the kids that don’t like masks #MasksWork #KidsGetCOVIDToo

@irenetosetti and they are out sick quite a bit, if my school is anything to go by. And we have about 25% masking still, our ventilation was upgraded, we have masks to give to kids, plus we test. I have 2 district provided hepa filters in my room, and I'm about to bring in my CR boxes. Yet, I've had many kids out sick with repeat infections in the last few weeks since school started. Kids told me they have had 2- 3 bouts of Covid so far. It's insanity.
