We ask our kids to do it when they go to school. It doesn't seem fair if we're unwilling to do the same.
School, and the socialization that occurs there, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Work is generally just work, it's not like your personal development suffers if you skip it.
So, 50% of the kids don’t want the socialization.
Fine, but if any company makes me wear a mask for 8 hours, I am out of there. Work remotely or come to a normal office sure.
Masks should be optional UNLESS you're NOT vaccinated.
Why? Because of the already sunk cost into office space? Any other reasons? I know I can drive 40 min and stare at the same laptop and email/zoom with the same people. What’s in it for me? All I see is unnecessary agony, and a lot of it. I produce more from home. Why does an employer want me to suffer more, even if it will cost them? What’s in it for them?
Interesting, similar to Google[1]... I wonder if 3 days in-person will be the new paradigm for big tech companies. [1] https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/6/22422518/google-hybrid-wor...
I believe Google made the 3 days in office call starting Sept first and places started following suit.

I wish all the covid vaccine protocols were applied to other diseases we have vaccines for. Measles is a million times more infectious.

I would never ask my kids that and I would try to find a school that does not enforce a mask policy. Especially with children, learning non verbal communication is very important.
I would argue that your children will learn non-verbal communication even better with masks on. It encourages alternative methods of conversing and challenges you to be a better listener and more attentive student. Honestly I don't know why we didn't do this in elementary school just for the hell of it!

In a household with two teenagers one couldn’t go back to school while the other one flat out refused to. So, 50% of the kids don’t want the socialization.
Part of childhood is doing things that adults insist is good for you even if you don't want to.
When I was around the Bay, I felt like part of the implicit social contract was trading a luxurious office environment for meager, overpriced housing. A long-term WFH arrangement was never sustainable. In my spacious but reasonable Midwestern house it's been amazing working from home (I'll keep drawing that Bay Area salary as long as possible!)
