Sure there are. The degree of effectiveness of a blue paper mask, loosely worn, often with nose out, is so close to zero effectiveness as to not matter.
MIT came out with a study in the spring that said that even with N95, exhaust gases tended to go up and fall across rooms, and in fact, probably make it a bit worse rather than just coming out and dropping down in front of the infected person.
If you want to do something, how about an open window, door and venting mandate? How about schools hold class outside as possible? Turn off ACs and open every window and door possible(safety in mind of course).
It's all about diluting stagnant air full of virons because little paper masks on the faces of children isn't accomplishing anything and may in fact be harming them.
