[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]

I’m an APS high school teacher, and I’m fine with them coming off.  I know we had to do virtual school, hybrid, all of that, but I feel that by fall this is over, at least for the teens.  If everyone has had a chance at two shots, and the teens have- we go back to life as we knew it.  If someone can’t get a vaccine, they’ve offered virtual school, and if a family chooses not to- at this point, that’s their problem, isn’t it?  The vaccines are really damn good.  I guess you don’t know everyone.[/quote]
