[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

+1  Butt out.  Their bodies, their choices and in many ways, smart choices given the amount of germs health care professionals and teachers are exposed to.  I just saw a doctor yesterday who was masked.   You can do the same.  Or you can call administration, complain about the teacher and be told to butt out by the principal--or if you manage to make enough of a fuss--your kid can have a series of subs the whole year, and the teacher can have a paid vacation given that there's no cause to force her not to wear a mask.[/quote]

Hey remember during the pandemic when the teachers union was carrying around child sized coffins and saying all of our kids would die if they went to school during the pandemic? Yeah, maybe, whatever teachers say on health risks, we should just do the opposite.  [/quote]
