[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher and at the minimum I will be wearing a mask AND a face shield.  I am most likely also buying scrubs to wear.  I will carry had sanitizer with me at all times.  I teach small children.  I understand this will probably scare them but it is what I need to do for my family. [/quote]

I’ll be doing the same and a hair bonnet. Maybe even goggles. I know it sounds so crazy, but that will make me feel safer. [/quote]

It also means visually underscoring -- for adults as well as kids -- that this is a time when we have to stay careful and vigilant for one another. You can't be casual about rubbing your nose on your sleeve, much less things that bring people into direct contact.

That's going to mean parents having some hard conversations with kids who will have questions, and then questions about the answers. I know people are already talking to their kids, but kids are somewhat shielded. It's different when your teacher is wearing mask, goggles or eye protection, maybe a bonnet or face shield, and can't come close to you.

I think we're going to see a spate of children's books coming out about this. I am certain there are many in the works. Hopefully we can share the good ones that seem to help. [/quote]
