[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers do want everyone to keep masking. 50% of us teachers have gotten sick, a significant percentage of that have long-COVID with long-term complications including heart and lung issues. Parents aren't allowed in schools right now (at least not many or for long periods) so I'm not sure what the huge concern is that they think is happening? Kids have been amazing at wearing masks, we do it all day, and its really not a problem to do so. I guarantee you that we will lose many, many older, high-risk and veteran teachers if a mask mandate is dropped this year. So take your pick - do you want qualified, veteran teachers providing high-quality instruction to masked kids or do you want maskless kids learning from substitutes - who at this point can be high school graduates, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, volunteers, etc. Which is it?[/quote]

Please stop saying this.  Speak for yourself.  Myself and many of my colleagues do not want mask mandates to continue.  Some of my colleagues do want it to continue and some don’t care either way.  50% have had Covid and a ‘significant percent’ have long Covid? [b] How are you gathering this data? [/b]There is no central place with all reported teacher Covid cases.  And define significant percent.  Significant means something very specific when speaking about statistics.[/quote]

It involves bending over and spreading the cheeks. [/quote]
