[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regardless of mask or no mask, I think the bigger issue is that the Governor through his EO has basically given permission for families and students to say, “I don’t have to listen to you. I don’t have to follow your rules”. Teachers think student behaviors are difficult now? Just wait.[/quote]

This was shared on social media:

Dear Governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin,

Have you ever been in a classroom when a teacher invites a child over for small group time and the child responds, “my mom said I don’t have to listen to you!”?

Have you ever been in a classroom when a teacher asks a student to put their phone away and they say, “my mom said I could keep it out.”

Or what about when a teacher assigns homework and the student says, “my mom said it was a dumb assignment so I didn’t need to do it.”

I completely understand that parents have different opinions about masks and a zillion other things - but when a governor announces “schools can set policies, but parents can choose not to follow them,” we are setting a very, very dangerous precedent.

For that matter, why does my daughter ever have to follow dress code again? Why does my son have to wear shoes? Heck, why do I need to worry about the attendance policy?

What if a parent tells a kid they can bring a weapon to school for personal protection? Or, like in Michigan, a parent refuses to follow school policy and our children are murdered because of it.

I 100% support parents making the best choices for their students, but that’s why homeschool and private school exist. When we send our kids to their school (or to a restaurant, a public library, or dentist, or…) part of choosing to send them there means we have to follow their rules. That’s something we learn in our citizenship units.

Sincerely,

A mom, educator, and citizen

I hate stupid things like this that people repost. If the rules say mask optional, people ARE following the rules. [/quote]

This post is saying when a school board has a mask rule and the Governor comes along and says you don't have to, the rule is now you don't have to it is equivalent to when a teacher assigns homework and a mom comes along and says well you don't have to. FOR THE SLOW PEOPLE IN THE BACK![/quote]
