[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here. The masks aren’t just about your kids they are about the adults working with your kids. Half of all DCPS teachers have gotten COVID and I can assure you we are all dedicated to making sure the other half of our colleagues don’t get it. You think there is a teacher shortage now? Drop masks and prepare for a teacher STOPPAGE.  [/quote]

Teachers should be vaccinated.  And they can wear a KN95 which -- unlike cloth masks -- provides protection to the user.[/quote]

As a DCPS teacher who hasn’t had COVID, I really don’t need anyone else to wear a mask to protect me.  As soon as we can I will be teaching maskless.  I’m not worried about Covid and don’t like wearing a mask all day.  Everyone should be able to make their own choice at this point.  Please feel free to continue masking- I would never take that right away from you.[/quote]

Are you me?

If someone could be a fly on a wall in a DCPS school and see we have been essentially mask-less the entire school year for about 50% of students.  Half do not wear one over the nose and mouth at all.  About 25% put in an honest effort or wear cloth (same as none).  There are about 25% who wear them correctly and consistently, although mostly just "surgical" which are like rolling the dice. [/quote]
