[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think below about 3rd or 4th grade it will not be possible to expect masks to be worn all day.

But all classrooms should employ multiple measures like opening windows, plastic screens, and face shields and masks on teachers.

And if teachers really can’t won’t teach the same grade they should offer to be re-assigned. The ongoing education of the children needs be prioritized, we cannot wait for a vaccine.[/quote]

Kids all over the world are wearing masks. Kids can also be taught to wear hats (required in Australia), get in car seats, get their hair and teeth brushed, learn to take turns and not interrupt....lots of things that don't come naturally and can be uncomfortable. They will be fine. Parents need to stop with this.[/quote]

The problem is the messaging has to be the same at home and at school.  There are many instances where students are told the opposite by their parents of what their teachers say.  So little Johnny might come in and say 'my mom says I don't have to wear a mask because it is too hot for me' or whatever.  I have never taught in another country but my guess is there is more support for classroom expectations and respect coming from home.   And before you flame me, this isn't me saying ALL parents do this.  But please trust me that a portion do, every year.[/quote]

Totally agree and there are enough parents at home that do not enforce rules that it is a big problem in the classroom.[/quote]
