[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers: If unmasked kids show up in your class next week and you are not comfortable with them being there, send them to the principal's office. First, the EO does not go into effect next week, but the week after. Second, the EO is not valid and there will be lawsuits filed to enjoin it from going into effect soon enough. A federal court in Tennessee found that a similar EO was unconstitutional (this applies to all Virginia school districts). Additionally, here in Virginia, state law provides that what school boards set as the policy trumps the EO (this applies to Virginia school districts where the school board will support continuance of a mask mandate).[/quote]

Good information.  I hope teachers read this and do exactly as you suggest.

Question:  What should kids do (masked kids who don't want to be around unmasked kids), do you think?  I don't want riots in classrooms but my kids are NOT comfortable being in classrooms with unmasked and unvaccinated kids.[/quote]

All of this drama is making me want to resign as a teacher. Now. I won’t but I don’t know if I will continue next year. I can’t handle the extreme views and being caught in the middle anymore. I didn’t become a teacher to be the mask police of teenagers on top of addressing all of this learning loss. And let’s throw in addressing mental health and endless PD on equity. I’m done.
