We have a teaching shortage. You don't want talented people with options to leave.

Many of us (teachers) have health conditions that require us to continue to avoid getting COVID. I’m a teacher with an autoimmune disease marrried to a teacher with an autoimmune disease and one of our children is also medically complex. We have to keep masking.

Why don't you seek a career change or teach for a virtual education company? I am sure you can be replaced.

Talk to any education hiring manager what they found this spring trying to replace quality teachers. It's a thin, mediocre applicant pool, ESPECIALLY once the school has started, if some idiot HOS wants to fire teachers for wearing a mask.

Nice fat lawsuit too when they dismiss someone for coping with a proven medical condition. Do you think any school manager wants that grief?

Dream on. This isn't a FOX News fantasy, it's real life.

The pods home-school model worked amazing! Like a governess model for a group of 6-8 kids. No masks. Highly recommend and certainly over masked teachers in a subpar curriculum or unacademic school.

And so easy to scale up to tens of millions of school kids in the US alone! It's a miracle that EVERYBODY isn't doing it already!

Lots of fantasyland happening on this thread, LOL.

50% of the country k-12 and even MCPS is multiple grade levels below in reading and math. Quite the teaching miracle indeed. Maybe more $$$ will do the trick unlike the last 5 times money was thrown at it for creative new Common Core untested ELa and math curricula.

If your governess can do all the home schooling that your special kids require, then you won't have to worry about what happens anywhere else then, will you? The rest of the imperfect world will just have to muddle along in your shadow of excellence. Well done.

LOL, no. I will happily wait to be fired for wearing my mask. I will not only be paid for my unused leave but I will be able to collect unemployment. Sounds like a win/win situation for me!

You won't be laughing when you catch covid from your students despite your useless mask lol.

They’ll be home laughing for 2-4 weeks.

The new variants are extremely transmissible. Your kid having had it in June won't prevent them from getting it again (and missing more school, and playing the long covid lottery again) in September. You want a new teacher in your kid's classroom every month because you don't want them to mask? That's a bad result teachers, but also a bad result for your kids.

Wearing a mask didn't protect me kids teacher from getting covid and being out two weeks. So yes, I'd prefer them not to mask and have my kid living in fear only to be out anyway.

LOL your kid is afraid of people who wear masks? He/she is going to have a hard time for many more years then.

It creates unnecessary fear in young children about dying from COVID.

Plus all the bullying from the self-righteous chronically masked kids regurgitating fear and hatred from their parents. Don’t talk with those kids, they’re not masked. Don’t play with that kid, they had Covid two months ago.

This was non-stop last year at one “masks optional” DC private school. No matter how many times the masked teacher said respect your option.

So your kid is afraid of people who wear masks, and of dying of covid, but you don't think anyone else should be uncomfortable around your unmasked child?

Why would an otherwise healthy thriving child be scared to die of Covid? Do you teach your kid to go around scared of people and scared of dying? Crossing the street, at the playground, in a car ride, on their bike?

Exactly. Everyone large and small should be visibly uncomfortable around unmasked children and students, especially when at school. Absolutely. The more shame and bullying the better at these progressive washington DC schools.

Exactly. Always put yourself first, not teaching or educating the students well.

Well, yes, I would hope every teacher would put their health before their job. This is not the insult you think it is.

Ask any of the crusaders here to risk death or long-term disability for their fancy jobs and see what they say when their private parts are on the line instead.

It's a lot of performative posing.

Again, pls flag yourself to your school and community and country as someone who plans on behaving as above. Very extreme. And detrimental to education in Pk-12. Go teach online programs or find a WFH job.

I'm a parent! Hey but you should volunteer to teach since you seem to think it requires no particular skills and is so easy to do -- just show your lips I guess and you're qualified. Good luck.

More efficacy in teaching if it’s in person and no face coverings. Nothing to argue or deflect about. And yes I’m an excellent teacher and coach, who doesn’t have children in a school where teachers are frightened and complaining and never wanted to return to school. I feel sorry for the children who has to return late or to half days or masks or silent lunches or masks as nauseum. This is truly a political phenomenon, look at the health data yourself.
