[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with OP. These masks are much more uncomfortable and more difficult to breathe in than cloth masks. I’m tired of adults asking kids to do things most of them won’t do themselves while they wfh. It will be tough on teachers but teachers get breaks throughout the day during which I’m quite sure they’ll remove their masks. We’re asking little kids to wear these masks literally all day without breaks. At some point we need to figure out a better solution. I know very few adults making the same sacrifices we’re asking kids to make and it’s beginning to feel abusive.

Teacher here - we don’t get breaks ask you think we do, especially during COVID. We have a 30 minute buddy break so we can eat lunch, which usually ends up being 20 minutes if we are lucky with the transitions built in. We can’t remove our masks unless eating or drinking - just like the kids. Stop trying to make a story that isn’t. [/quote]

Not making a story. Acknowledging that it’s hard for teachers too  but at least teachers have breaks. Not sure what grade or subject you teach, but most lower school teachers have breaks (time alone) when their students are in specials. They may be doing prep during that time but they can still take the opportunity to remove their masks if alone. As I said before, I know very few adults actually doing the things we’re asking of little children. If you happen to be one of those few adults than good for you—I guess. [/quote]

You are imagining what you believe teachers can do when kids are not in the room. Masks are on all day, for everyone in the school, when they are not eating or drinking. Period. [/quote]
