I don’t think so, the school district still doesn’t allow it. They made it clear that even with March 1st they still prefer people wearing masks. Staff for sure. Unless they plan on sending another email, acknowledging CDC new guidelines, but I highly doubt that. FCPS is going to pretend it didn’t even happen. I planned on sending kids to school with masks on the 1st, since I didn’t want to be “that parent”. Not anymore, no masks on March 1st[/quote]

[b]I am a teacher and I doubt FCPS will give in easily on the teachers. They are so pissed that they can’t control kids and families so they will control us instead. [/b]🙂[/quote]

I will bet my Monday paycheck that you’re in that toxic FCPS teachers Facebook group.

Which one? The only I’m one in seems to [b]want masks forever[/b]. [/quote]

At happy hour after school there were about 25 of us who don't want that.

Teacher[/quote]

Same, but the vocal  social media group is very much pro mask.  I just want kids to hear and understand what I say without going home with a sore throat daily.

[b]Ok. It seems impossible to have an opposing opinion in that group. Hard to tell if that’s a true representation of the county[/b]. [/quote]

That group is NOT representing the majority of teachers in numbers or sentiment. It was the same with returning to school last year. Even after we were vaccinated, there was this impression that all teachers were fearing for their life by returning to the building.

It’s clear there is contingent of whiny, vocal, high flying posters who want to complain about any and everything. I had to get off of it. I was embarrassed for some of them. [/quote]

I think this whole pandemic has made adults crazy. So many adults lack perspective and are so mean if other people have different viewpoints. As an educator, I think my 6th graders are more respectful of others differing opinions than adults are these days. Makes me sad, that grown adults act this way. People forget that everyone has their own stuff they are dealing with behind the scenes and people should just be respectful regardless of opinions.

My personal opinion is I will support a parent’s choice. But I don’t think it is fair if the parent on the other side doesn’t want their child sitting next to an unmasked kid, they don’t have that right. It should be both ways. As a teacher, I have no problem masking and will continue to do so due to my families health. My mom is extremely immunocompromised. [/quote]
