@elie_mcn She’s right. This causes so much division in schools and it would have been so disproportionately executed (picture one teacher yelling at a student to wear one while another teacher comments on a maskless child’s lovely smile).

[Sam Jord @SamJord2]

@nilikm @NashSuzanne3 @CHEO It’s the opinion of many of her constituents, including students, parents and staff (and the Director of Education) that know the workings of a school intimately. Masking also disproportionately affects marginalized populations. Thank you Suzanne.

[Sam Jord @SamJord2]

@NashSuzanne3 Thank you. We can not mask a slice of the young school population in the hopes it would impact broad community flu levels. We’ll have this every year.

[Sam Jord @SamJord2]

@WikiNicki @NashSuzanne3 No evidence? The evidence is occurring NOW, in these young learners. Those struggling to learn a language, etc need to see their teacher’s face, unmasked. From a teacher & parent.

[Sam Jord @SamJord2]

@NashSuzanne3 Thank you for listening to the voice of students!

@nilikm Way to schedule this meeting on the night of OCDSB Parent-Teacher interviews so none of us can watch. You’re not the only one who works late Nili.

@ctvottawa So only ONE delegation at the OCDSB meeting gets a whole CTV article but the others don’t?!!?

WEB POLL: Should the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board mandate masks in schools?

@elie_mcn Our Director of Education basically said this is an organizational nightmare and not even feasible. As a teacher, I agree.

[Sam Jord @SamJord2]

@KaylaSAHM @Chris_AutismDad He’s not the only one. My heart breaks for these kiddos 💕. We’re starting to see it a lot in schools.

@nilikm @OCDSB @CHEO I don’t support the mask mandate. I also am amazed the public was allowed in - it’s not helping anything 🤷‍♀️.

@robfoot "The current context is different from that previously in the Covid-19 pandemic, where non-immune pop'ns were facing exp growth of a novel virus. Both influenza & RSV have circulated widely in the population prior to the Covid-19 pandemic." -Etches. YES! We can't mask forever!

YES!

@OttawaCitizen Vera Etches is not recommending making masks mandatory in Ottawa schools.

The Ottawa school trustee who wants to bring mask mandates back had a MELTDOWN when asked to defend her argument. 😂

[Sam Jord @SamJord2]

@nilikm @CHEO @CBCOttawa @ctvottawa @globalnews You are a qualified doctor, and now a school board trustee. Please stop tagging media about other people’s ridiculous posts - simply ignore them. It’s all just to create drama and you are playing into their game.

[Sam Jord @SamJord2]

@Cheryl_Swore @OCDSB Interesting. I’ve talked to several trustees who are considering voting against this motion, because they are seeing the harm it does to certain student populations. Hate mail is terrible. It’s also NOT why they would vote against this motion.
