My son has already had Covid...and had NO symptoms at all. We, his parents, have also already had Covid. I think we're subjecting kids to psychological abuse that's going to live with them forever if we keep this fear porn up. And we have the abusive media to thank for that.

Larry Sabulsky

The kids need to be in school. The government has hurt the kids enough.

Will Mason

The current policy makes no sense. Any change has to be an improvement.

Courtney Lucas

My son has been sick nonstop with bacterial infections being caused by that mask according to his 3 drs. Now we can get him healthy and heal his immune system.

Max

I hope your son gets better. My doctor did not recommend the booster for me. The children do not deserve the abuse, that the masks provide.

Lisa Gore

Freedom...and common sense.

Some worry that students who have coronavirus but don't have symptoms could spread the virus at school.

I feel it is making it dangerous for all concerned. There will be little protection against COVID-19.

Charles Schoene

The Board simply caved in to an authoritarian Attorney General running for Senate on a pure Trumpian philosophy. Eric Schmitt's baseless "order" just made it more comfortable for the Board to throw in the towel. It puts the students and teachers at great risk.

So much for better safe than sorry

Asymptomatic will continue to spread covid

Amen Sue.

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I have no desire to watch him spew lies and pat himself on the back. He's a sorry excuse of a human being.

Max

Thee truth is hard for some to swallow. Maybe you could find a Biden or Obama clip to watch?

Steve Baumann

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Fred

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Fred

I don't enjoy being lied to ...

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

Max

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.

Not seeing very good returns on the 5 day schedule. Are we sure 4 days are the answer. Dropping standards is never an option. You soften standards on discipline and look where it has got you. Do the hard right over the easy wrong.

Max

One full day, for the kids to be unsupervised, in most cases, spells DANGER for them, but if it's good for the teachers, then let's do it. Teachers Unions have been so good, for so for so long, for everyone, but the children, and their parents....
