The new variants are extremely transmissible. Your kid having had it in June won't prevent them from getting it again (and missing more school, and playing the long covid lottery again) in September. You want a new teacher in your kid's classroom every month because you don't want them to mask? That's a bad result teachers, but also a bad result for your kids.

Wearing a mask didn't protect me kids teacher from getting covid and being out two weeks. So yes, I'd prefer them not to mask and have my kid living in fear only to be out anyway.

LOL your kid is afraid of people who wear masks? He/she is going to have a hard time for many more years then.

It creates unnecessary fear in young children about dying from COVID.

No, it teaches young kids the importance of caring about others and helping to protect themselves and others. Kids have died of Covid. It’s rare but it happens.

You can be certain my homeroom group’s learning will emphasize caring for others, understanding that your choices effect those around you and in the community, and protecting those who are vulnerable even if it adds an extra step to your day. This includes masking.

Masking people that aren't sick doesn't protect anyone. But it does spread a view that all children are vectors of disease and should be kept at arms length just in case. That doesn't sound that caring.

New teacher every month? This is the private school forum... are you lost?

That’s pretty much what we had last year and the lower school teacher stayed masked.

Again, pls flag yourself to your school and community and country as someone who plans on behaving as above. Very extreme. And detrimental to education in Pk-12. Go teach online programs or find a WFH job.

I'm a parent! Hey but you should volunteer to teach since you seem to think it requires no particular skills and is so easy to do -- just show your lips I guess and you're qualified. Good luck.

More efficacy in teaching if it’s in person and no face coverings. Nothing to argue or deflect about.
This is truly a political phenomenon, look at the health data yourself.

Full stop.

You know what else doesn’t sound like caring? Assuming everybody has it as easy as you do. I have students with significant health concerns. Their families have realized that masking works best for them, and who are we to judge? Your child doesn’t have to mask. Hopefully your children can be respectful to those who decide it’s best for them. That, after all, is what “caring” looks like.

My eyes won’t roll as much as I want them to right now. I’m willing to bet your kids don’t care whether their teachers wear masks. This is almost always a parent’s concern, and not an important one at that. Let your kids enjoy their school year without your interference.

Of course masking protects people who aren't sick, when they are in a room with people who are sick. Why is masking so hard for people to understand? It protects healthy people because they do not breathe in covid, or do not breathe in as much. (Of course masking a sick person also keeps those people from breathing germs out, including those who are sick but don't know they're sick, or have been sent to school even if their parents know they're sick, which apparently is something that some parents do.)

I’m willing to bet most lower school kids don’t care if they watch tv half the time, eat fries processed foods daily, and play Roblox a couple hours at private school either. But that’d all be a silly parent concern. So silly.

Must be hard to understand indeed. As proven by you.

It’s the other way around, by a significant 2-3 standard deviation margin.

Hope you take the same stance of caring about your students who eat poorly, are overweight or obese, who aren’t active daily, and don’t have good personal hygiene. You could really elongate their lives and improve quality of living.

Let’s move on. The mask - Covid lunacy is so old.

I’m a teacher who has had to buy my students lunch, so yes… I do care about their overall well-being.

Nobody is asking your kid to mask. Just extend a bit of courtesy to those who do. This isn’t hard.

You’re right. Those are bad choices and a parent should be concerned. A mask, though? Something that is used worldwide to promote health? One of these things is not like the others.

Because both things results in sub par education.

Masks have a lot of downsides especially in teaching children. Even besides that, it’s a far stretch to call it promoting health. Certainly not mental health.

99% of the time Covid is a minor cold and 2/3s of those are asymptomatic.

You’re not promoting anything except your personal agenda, politics and personal hyper risk intolerance. Find a job where you can stay alone at home away from people and children.
