[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Covid denialism is rampant in this thread.

The new variants are extremely transmissible.  Your kid having had it in June won't prevent them from getting it again (and missing more school, and playing the long covid lottery again) in September.  You want a new teacher in your kid's classroom every month because you don't want them to mask?  That's a bad result teachers, but also a bad result for your kids.[/quote]

Again, pls flag yourself to your school and community and country as someone who plans on behaving as above. Very extreme. And detrimental to education in Pk-12. Go teach online programs or find a WFH job.[/quote]

I'm a parent!  Hey but you should volunteer to teach since you seem to think it requires no particular skills and is so easy to do -- just show your lips I guess and you're qualified.  Good luck.[/quote]

[b]More efficacy in teaching if it’s in person and no face coverings. Nothing to argue or deflect about.
 [/b]This is truly a political phenomenon, look at the health data yourself.[/quote]

Full stop.

My eyes won’t roll as much as I want them to right now. I’m willing to bet your kids don’t care whether their teachers wear masks. This is almost always a parent’s concern, and not an important one at that. Let your kids enjoy their school year without your interference.[/quote]

I’m willing to bet most lower school kids don’t care if they watch tv half the time, eat fries processed foods daily, and play Roblox a couple hours at private school either. But that’d all be a silly parent concern. So silly. [/quote]

You’re right. Those are bad choices and a parent should be concerned. A mask, though? Something that is used worldwide to promote health? One of these things is not like the others.[/quote]

It's tough as a teacher to see a fat, lethargic kid who is clearly being fed bad foods and not pushed to be active.  But guess what - that is beyond the individual teacher's control.  I only see your kid for 50 minutes five days a week.  What happens during that 50 minutes is under my control (and the school's) so we, as teachers, get to make the best choices we can.

Conflating irrelevant factors is a logical fallacy.  Look that up if the words are too big for you.[/quote]
