[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a high school teacher and hope masks are not required in the fall at the secondary level. Anyone who wanted a vaccine by then could have gotten one at my school. We can’t mask forever because some people do not want it or can’t get it for medical reasons. I understand it’s different in elementary school.  If the cases or community spread rises then it can be reevaluated but cases are low right now. [/quote]

I literally don't know any high school teacher who agrees with you. What school are you at? Because at my school I am pretty sure almost everyone wants masks.

The bodies of teens are more like the bodies of adults than kids. I don't want to be in a room with someone unvaccinated for a long period of time. I don't want to get sick even if the illness is mitigated by the vaccine. I am not putting myself at risk for health problems down the road because some kid didn't get vaccinated and isn't wearing a mask. I'll walk before that.[/quote]

Are you actually a teacher? I don’t work in APS but a neighboring district and teachers are not wearing masks when we are alone together. It’s getting harder and harder to enforce them for students. I’m vaccinated and so are the other teachers I work with. Many of my students talk about how they are fully vaccinated. So many that wear masks are not doing so properly. I can’t imagine many high schools in the area are much different.  Did you get vaccinated? If you did, are you really that worried about Covid?   The people I work with are no longer wearing masks in stores or in our personal lives. We want to stop at work as soon as we are able. [/quote]
