Makes sense to me


May 12, 2021, 5:53 PM

Dear Students, Parents, and Staff,

After considering Governor McMaster's Executive Order to lift the mask mandate in South Carolina's public schools and State Superintendent Spearman’s rescission of her mask policy, we have determined that effective immediately masks will be optional for faculty, staff, and students in our school buildings. Federal orders continue to require that masks be worn by students and drivers on school buses.

Our goal is to continue normal operations without further disruption to our instructional program. As such, we will not collect opt out forms from parents.

Thank you to everyone in our school community for your continued support.

King Laurence
Aiken County Superintendent

12 ####### days

They couldn’t leave things well enough alone for 12 days oh no, let’s create a #### show because the last couple of weeks of the school year are normally so calm and productive anyway.

I'm not a 'must wear a mask' guy and I will be glad when they are totally gone, but I would not have a problem if we had just finished out the year with them. We only have 3.5 weeks left in Aiken. Having said that, my comment of "makes sense" was related to Aiken PSD deciding to say eff the opt-out form. As he said, it will have the least disruption to instructional efforts. Good call.

I think the opt-out form was a stall tactic to get them


May 13, 2021, 7:58 AM

through the end of the year. Someone called their bluff and made the form available immediately at SCDHEC.

Masks have little impact on me as I am a hermit. I understand it is a big deal to most folks who are out and about at jobs and schools.
I have the best, but most have just a useless designer thing.

Do they work?
If they help even a little, I am OK wearing one, not for me, but to protect others from me.
I am OK with folks who don't wear one. I hate this has become a political choice.

The science was not available for this virus. Politics got in for votes (trust me, I am from the government and here to help).

the tug abides


I think this is what pisses me off so much, been doing this


May 13, 2021, 7:57 AM [ in reply to 12 ####### days ]

since August/September and they decide to blow the whole fucking thing up with weeks to go.

I think it started in my brother's school district near Columbia, the parents there have ALOT of pull with the school board and have been very vocally against masks the whole time, this is considered a win for those Karens. He was telling me about it last weekend and then this happened this week.
