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.

A mask is harming them?? How? The little kiddies dont get to show off their teeth? This topic has been discussed a zillion times. Have you seen the covid cases of kids since school started? Have you not seen the rise in cases with the variants popping up?
Yes, classes outdoors would be great but not feasible unless you want your kids keeling overwith heat stroke.
Masks is the next best thing. If you dont want your kiddie wearing a mask then home school them. You have choices
