I teach high school and I’m going to suggest you learn to
think critically. There’s lots of reasons why:
1. Transmission is still high. They don’t think it’s safe.
2. The news came at 930 at night. They were caught off guard and just figured they’d mask since they whole situation was weird and confusing
3. Nobody wants to be the first kid to unmask if everyone else still is because then you stand out
4. They’re just used to wearing them and aren’t bothered
5. Some of them have active virus symptoms and are doing their part
6. They didn’t actually know if a teacher could individually stop require them and if they’d get in trouble taking it off
7. Kids as a rule don’t do well with sudden changes without time to prepare so they just maintained their usual routine
Hope this helps
