[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thankfully our principal would (respectfully) tell you to pound sand if you complained about this. She is far more worried about a teacher quitting than a ridiculous parent being annoyed. [/quote]

Great principal. Original poster is unhinged. They seriously need to get a life.[/quote]

Seems like the key piece of information that's missing her is why the teacher is wearing a mask. Maybe the teacher has a good reason. Maybe not. A lot of judgment here from people who don't actually know boo. [/quote]

Actually, I don’t think we need to know the teacher’s reason.  Who are we to judge whatever that reason might be?We’re not her doctor and aren’t qualified to determine what’s best for her. [/quote]

Eh. Didn't we just go through a pandemic where schools here were closed for a year and a half, FAR longer than almost anywhere else, and FAR longer than doctors said was necessary, because teachers didn't *feel* it was safe? You'll forgive parents if they are not automatically defer to a teacher's judgement. My kid's pediatrician doesn't wear a mask. My kid's dentist doesn't wear a mask. They see more sick kids more intimately than any teacher (and are far more educated about health risks). It's possible that a teacher has a good reason for wearing a mask. It's also possible the teacher is a bozo, and wearing a mask in the classroom is not costless. It can be hard to hear them, and little kids in particular get a lot of information by reading body language and facial expressions. [/quote]

My kid's pediatrician does wear a mask--which is smart given that she's around sick kids all day.  So does the pharmacist at my CVS for the same reason.   Just because you have a single experience--don't feel the need to act like it's the norm for others.  You don't get to choose how other people protect their bodies.[/quote]
