[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't wait for Youngkin to end the mask mandate!  My kids will be maskless on the first day.

Got an AG coming in who's threatening to sue any school district that closes and a majority in each legislative chamber that will be vehemently against school closing.  Bring on January 15th![/quote]

He’d have to ban mask mandates too.

Don’t think that’d fly in purple VA.

He's absolutely going to. He campaigned on that position too.  He said it in a radio interview the other day.

Teacher here ...

Okay, that's fine.  I hope your kids like being taught by subs.  Because I'm out as soon as masks come off.  And I'm not alone.  My health is more important to me than your desire for your kid to not wear a mask. [/quote]

Are you in a NoVA district? I doubt if any will drop their mask requirements this spring.

Same.  Although apparently there is at least one poster on this thread who is certain that it will be otherwise.  I know that if the mask requirements[b] are dropped in my school then at least half of us will walk.[/b]  And we won't be waiting until the end of the school year to do it.[/quote]

PP here. Personally I'm not that concerned about being in class with my students unmasked and I'm ok requiring masks for now, but again I don't think the local districts will drop the requirement.

I will say that it's pretty impressive that at least half of your school staff would walk. I haven't heard anybody say that. I haven't heard any discussion about it honestly. I highly doubt that many on our staff would be able to afford to just leave anyhow, even if they wanted to.[/quote]

Huh.  I guess I talk to more people at my school.  Or they talk to me.  I know the sentiment is very strong.  Teachers feel pushed to their breaking points.  There doesn't seem like much to keep any of us going in.  We've already seen teachers leave with very little notice and they're getting jobs easily.  The only people who intent to stay are those who absolutely have to.  Everyone else has a backup plan in place or just intends to stop working.  [/quote]

That’s disappointing. Countless people have been pushed to limits during Covid. Wonder what would happen if all just abandoned and jumped ship. [/quote]
