There is no chance that will fly. A teacher or two may try, but the administration will not allow for separate areas for masked vs. unmasked students, just as they would not for vaxx'd v. unvaxx'd students. There are so many reasons why (no I am not going down the separate but equal rabbit hole), but one of the easiest to note is student's who have preferential seating as part of an IEP/504. There are way more, but that is the beginning of why that will be a non-starter. It won't have to be parents clamoring one way or the other.[/quote]

Unfortunately, as a teacher, we might not have a choice. If we are getting pushback from parents on both sides, what are we to do? I think it is absolutely fair to put unmasked kids separate from masked kids. If the whole argument is that parents have a choice about their child’s health, then so do the parents of the masked kids. They have the right to be separated to protect them. I feel fortunate that I feel 99 percent of my class will continue wearing masks, but there might be one or two and they will feel ostracized. [/quote]
