[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers do care about education. We don't trust the district or the parents to keep us safe. Parents are saying their kids should not be required to wear masks, but they want schools to open full time. Give me a break.[/quote]

I don't think that's parents in DC. I would bet all DCPS parents are fine with masks.[/quote]

I am 100% not only fine with but also an advocate for masks at all times. However, I also know there is zero chance my prek4 and K children who will be in a JKLM school this Fall will wear one the entire day- here and there, yes, but mostly off. And yes, we practice every single day for over a month now.  It’s just a reality of that age[/quote]

Your pk & k children will absolutely wear a mask for the majority of the day with appropriate expectations in place and a good teacher. If they can be trained to criss cross applesauce and all the other routines established  in early education they can be trained for masks. They just need to understand that taking it off is not an option so please also practice them understanding that at home this summer or consider keep them home in the fall.[/quote]

Little kids in other countries wear masks. There is no reason that most kids in America can't wear them, too.  They learn and adapt to many other classroom rules, why not this one?[/quote]
