No you're not, you're just a selfish jerk who hates people that mask. Do you also call them "sheep"?![]()
NP. I am 40 and have mild hearing loss. The pandemic was VERY hard when everyone was masked and customer service workers were behind those thick plastic partitions. I couldn’t understand a darn thing and it was frustrating for everyone involved.
So no, not everyone’s making it up and there are children with hearing issues as well. They just miss what the teacher is saying.
Get a hearing aid

There seems to be a real epidemic of 22 year olds who are "immunocompromised".
If the teacher was older this really wouldn't bother me though. An experienced teacher is worth their weight in gold.
Sounds like you have anxiety and mental health issues, maybe a perosnality disorder, if you don't have any empathy to why. The 22 year old could be living with someone or have health issues. I look perfectly healthy but I'm not. Your cold that you selfishly give me lasts months. Are you willing to come over and cook, clean and drive my kids? NO, so I'll keep masking.

It affects your kids experience at school. It’s obviously not ok to comment on either and there’s nothing you can do about it but can you be bummed? Certainly. Doesn’t make you a bad person.
Doesn't kind of though?

Presumably OP would have mentioned if her kid has hearing loss. It's likely the school has already accommodated kids with hearing loss, and teachers with medical issues that require a mask by not putting them together.
I wouldn’t assume that at all, particularly if it’s not severe enough to require a 504 or IEP. And once the kid is in the class, it’s awkward to bring it up without people calling you all of the things PP just call the original PP.
It just sucks and its not like schools were ever a low risk environment. Life is unpredictable, but that doesn't make it easier on kids.
