[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if this teacher, who is teaching children in the London Underground during WWII because it was unsafe to be above ground, would be complaining about having to put on a mask and teach during COVID.

Notice all those kids are health and able-bodied. During that time period kids were struck down by polio, scarlet fever, and whooping cough. Guess where they are not? In school, where they could transmit the contagion to other kids.[/quote]

Way to side-step the issue.

The point is that, during WWII, people actually understood that, despite the risks, schooling needed to continue. That woman could have decided to go into a smaller bomb shelter, rather than being in the Tube, which was a target (since everyone knew people sheltered there, en masse). [/quote]

You're comparing apples-to-oranges. During the War on Terror and the Gulf War - kids were in school as well. They were not however in school with peers who spread viral contagious diseases. Period. Sorry you can't understand that. [/quote]

Yes they were. Diphtheria outbreaks in local schools happened regularly at that time.[/quote]
