[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not an anti-vaxxer. My kids have had 3 shots. The risk is very low. Time to get rid of the masks indoors. Teachers against it are promoting a culture of fear that is unhealthy for our children. [/quote]

Teacher here...trying to protect my unvaccinated 18-month-old and my unborn baby... I wouldn't say I'm trying to instill fear in students, but more the idea of selflessness and "sacrificing" to protect others. I say "sacrificing" because it really isn't a huge deal to the students, it seems to be much more of an issue with parents.[/quote]

I don’t understand this logic. Unborn children can never be vaccinated (except for the antibodies they receive from mom). So are we all supposed to mask forever?[/quote]

We have to protect the unborn by any means necessary even if it means the mother has to die in childbirth,  unless I have to wear a mask then eff that fetus.[/quote]

Interesting that you’re equating people who are anti-choice with people who are pro (mask) choice[/quote]

Interesting that the person further up doesn’t think a teacher protecting her unborn child via masking is fit to be in the workplace. It’s almost as if you peoplle don’t want humans teaching your kids, but nameless faceless drones who only do as you say.[/quote]

The best response to this woman is that she could be exposed to dozens of illnesses while pregnant.  Hopefully her unborn child will be protected by her own vaccinations for covid, measles, etc.  Pregnant women have taught as long as their have been pregnant women.  So her issue isn’t new or unique.  And if her concern for her child’s safety is so severe, she should request a non-classroom position for the duration of her pregnancy.  She cannot insist that masks be worn by others forever because she is pregnant.  Measles is still around and so is covid and they will be with us forever.  I totally understand her fear but on balance, she is not the person whose interest school boards should be focusing on.  Public school exists to benefit the children and society as a whole.  Not the individual teachers.  They are a cog in the wheel.  They aren’t the wheel and they aren’t the mission.  [/quote]
