[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Preschool teacher here - in a part time, 3 hour program. The masks for the three year olds are….not effective. They chew on them, pull them down (some have hard to fit faces) and take them off. They don’t complain, but they don’t like them. And a wet mask below their nose is not protecting anyone. 
Plus as a teacher I have to help them put it on multiple times. 
I am okay with masks the rest of the year, for families that want that security, but not next year [/quote]

Talk to teachers. Our PK teacher is as pro-mask, pro-testing, as they come, but she's now at the point where she thinks we should get rid of the requirement when cases come down. She also said that she thinks that if cases rise again, schools should just assume they will provide masks for kids and then all the kids will be in the same masks and they'll be distributed upon arrival. It will streamline things for teachers and ensure every kid has an appropriately sized mask with the right number of layers, and make it easy to replace a wet mask.

The current system, where we just pretend kids this age can mask as effectively as adults, that it's easy or reasonable to expect families to find appropriate, well-fitting masks for these kids without support, is just silly. We're doing it to make adults feel better and so little thought has been put into whether this is appropriate for kids, or actually improves their safety or health. [/quote]
