We removed our 6 year old from a private school when the changed the rules just before opening in august that they have to wear masks. Really ticked me off and I wrote to the school a lengthy letter explaining how masks can hurt young children's physical and mental health. and that I do not want my son to trust strangers with masks nor do i want his speech supressed nor do i want him to think it is normal. and the children would have a difficulty recognizing classmates. am homeschooling him this year. I pray to God for safety of all children.

I think that you are doing the smartest thing for your child.
Thankfully my child is out of school, but I know I'd do exactly the same as you. I'm praying more parent's are doing this.
