Personally I think the best way to prevent illness is not masking but good physical hygiene and eating well and getting exercise. But I can't prescribe that for other people.

I would probably choose not to send my kid to a school where *everyone* masked. Because I lived through that during Covid and I know it was hard for my kid. It's just not an ideal learning environment.

But it sounds like this is one teacher (who yes may have a very good reason to do it) and not the whole school. I'd acknowledge to myself that it's not the best but then get over it and move on.

Eating well doesn’t stop the parainfluenza virus from entering my nasal cavity when your kid sneezes right in my face.

2nd graders don't do that (at least most don't). You're thinking of preschoolers. Generally 2nd grade teachers aren't close enough to kids with regularity for this to be a huge issue.

And as someone who taught at a summer camp for years and has come into contact with many forms of contagious bodily fluids -- getting regularly vaccines and taking care of your health absolutely makes a difference. I rarely get sick even when my own kids are sick because I'm good about hand washing and eat well and exercise. When I do get sick it generally doesn't hit me hard.

How do you think people who actuallly work in hospitals and doctors offices do it. And no most of them do not wear masks all the time. Perhaps during the height of flu season or if something is going around but not all the time because it does inhibit your job.

You know there is a teacher shortage right? Go ahead and try to get this teacher pushed out. I doubt you will be successful, but if you are, your kid likely will get stuck with a sucky sub.

And get your hearing checked if you can't hear people. Maybe you need a hearing aid.
