You didn’t give his age......
....maybe younger children have a harder time
....I think masked students are unnecessary.....
...but our granddaughter has been wearing one to high school, by necessity, since September
I work at a school and we’ve had in-person classes, on and off, since August. The kids are ok with the masks, but not real happy to have to wear them. Bad thing is when the masks aren’t washed every day. Yuck!
Only during Halloween!
Education is your best friend, good luck trying to teach any of the Stupid School Employee’s anything Factual and True.
A May 2020 meta-study on pandemic influenza published by the US CDC found that face masks had no effect, neither as personal protective equipment nor as a source control. (Source)
A Danish randomized controlled trial with 6000 participants, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine in November 2020, found no statistically significant effect of high-quality medical face masks against SARS-CoV-2 infection in a community setting. (Source)
A February 2021 review by the European CDC found no significant evidence supporting the effectiveness of non-medical and medical face masks in the community. Furthermore, the European CDC advises against the use of FFP2/N95 respirators by the general public. (Source)
A July 2020 review by the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine found that there is no evidence for the effectiveness of cloth masks against virus infection or transmission. (Source)
A November 2020 Cochrane review found that face masks did not reduce influenza-like illness (ILI) cases, neither in the general population nor in health care workers. (Source)
A May 2020 cross-country study by the University of East Anglia (preprint) found that a mask requirement was of no benefit and could even increase the risk of infection. (Source)
An April 2020 review by two US professors in respiratory and infectious disease from the University of Illinois concluded that face masks have no effect in everyday life, neither as self-protection nor to protect third parties (so-called source control). (Source)
An article in the New England Journal of Medicine from May 2020 came to the conclusion that cloth face masks offer little to no protection in everyday life. (Source)
A 2015 study in the British Medical Journal BMJ Open found that cloth masks were penetrated by 97% of particles and may increase infection risk by retaining moisture or repeated use. (Source)
An August 2020 review by a German professor in virology, epidemiology and hygiene found that there is no evidence for the effectiveness of cloth face masks and that the improper daily use of masks by the public may in fact lead to an increase in infections. (Source)

I have a daughter and son in grade school.
The other day my son got a bloody nose at school. He said to me, dad wanna know the best and worst part about getting a bloody nose at school. Worst part is I got a bloody nose, best part is I didn’t have to wear a mask for 30 minutes!
Grandson in private school in-person kindergarten since September, 2020.
No problems. He and his classmates wear the masks at all times unless eating lunch or snack.
His class even has Zoom recitals for us grandparents. and all the kids sing with the masks on.
His school day is 9am until 3pm. It isn’t half-day kindergarten.
Maybe your kid is having eye trouble? Have you had his eyes checked?
Allergy of some sort?
Is it a washable mask and if so what detergents?
If I forget cloth face mask and use an old paper one I keep in my console, sometimes it can send me into a sneezing jag. Dust or something.
I feel for him, I get hot and end up mouth breathing after I’ve had one on for longer than half hour or so and a headache.
I absolutely hate masking, especially in the summer.
It’s probably a major distraction and it could be overwhelming his senses.
Our 15-year-old must wear a mask at school. “Fortunately”, he only goes two days a week with it. I say “fortunately” because my biggest complaint is his seeming lack of education content versus going five days a week. Now, he goes two days, does two days of online, and apparently Wednesday is completely off. On any one day, he works approximately 2 hours and has no homework. We’re seriously considering doing home school next year if they continue this crap, as he’s not being well prepared for college.
Now, to your point: He doesn’t seem to be suffering any ill effects to his two days of mask wearing. My preference would be he not wear them at all — another benefit of home schooling that is appealing...
Have you talked to your kid’s doctor about getting your kid’s pulse oxygen tested while the kid is wearing a mask?

I am 66. I have had no issues with asthma since about 2005. Had to wear a mask six hours one day. Since then, every time I put it on, I have an asthma attack. Five minutes is enough. The attacks are getting worse and I have developed problems breathing even at normal times. The asthma medicines that used to work no longer work.
No masks at our Publik Skool district.
My son got Covid-19 from his teacher in December and brought it back to me and the wife.
The mask doesn’t do squat to prevent anything regardless.
I have four kids in Catholic school from high school to elementary. They all have to wear masks but the older kids can take them off for mask breaks in the gym or outside. The little kids get to take theirs off for recess. Other than they don’t like wearing them, I’ve seen no ill effects.
How about this outrage?

“Anyone has experienced with kids masked for school?”
Every Halloween years ago!😀
My daughter is 15. She has gone to school since August.
They require masks between classes. City has a mandate... 🤡
Wearing a mask has caused my daughter some acne 😞
A kid needed to go to his locker today, so he grabbed a mask to leave the room.
Teacher said, “you kids sit, maskless, 12 inches from each other at tables, I don’t really think you need that mask to run into an empty hall” ...
