[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher. 
I’ve just been diagnosed w leukemia and some other autoimmune thing is going on as well. 
I just want to finish out the year do I can retire. I’ll be wearing a mask so I  can do that.

Nobody is talking about you. We’re talking about the health anxiety types.  Best of luck with your treatment.[/quote]

The thing is, you don’t know the situation of the OP’s teacher. We had a teacher mask last year—she was very private but it turned out her DH was dying of cancer and she was told by his doctors to mask to protect him. [b]I know another teacher who was told by her doc to mask once the fall/winter illnesses start spreading, because of her propensity to get a cold that turns into a monthlong battle with bronchitis and pneumonia[/b] and she keeps running out of sick leave and must take LWOP.

Speaking as a teacher, it’s annoying to mask all day, and I don’t know many who would do it without a darn good reason.[/quote]

I know a teacher who has this issue, and you know what she did? She transferred to a non-classroom position within the district. Instead of being an obnoxious martyr wearing  a mask and hindering her students' ability to learn -- while not significantly reducing her exposure to germs AT ALL! -- she instead got an office job far away from germy kids and significantly reduced her exposure to germs. What a genius.[/quote]

CLEARLY you don’t teach. Do you think there are a ton of non-classroom positions available right now? We can’t  fill classrooms because of the teacher shortage, so districts aren’t going to give up teachers.

And for your nastiness, guess what? Teachers are entitled to their health. We don’t have to bend to ALL your whims, and we are allowed to take care of ourselves… even if it upsets you. [/quote]
