I said they were trying to scare the parents, which they clearly were. They went on at length about not being able to console crying or upset children because of the 6ft rule. As an early childhood educator who has been back since the beg. of the year - this is a very real concern. I teach preK3 and its heartbreaking. Remember - a lot of these younger kids have not been in a school setting and have not met these teachers in real life. AND we are wearing masks and can't hug them. I spend the first 6 weeks of school normally with students trying to hug my leg or crying about missing their parents. In addition - an unexpected hurdle - has been telling fellow students that they can't help each other either. They are naturally helpers - when someone falls, or drops something, they are ready to give a hug or pick up the toy. I have to prevent that while still teaching how to be good friends. I know these things seem small to parents of older children. But it really has been a sad adjustment [/quote]
