Teachers are already struggling to do their job during a pandemic. But it's worse for those working in states where mask mandates are prohibited.
Some fear students who aren't eligible for vaccines may die. Others worry about having to enforce social distancing. Or they worry about bringing the virus home to family.

Here’s an idea- how bout we just go back to living our lives the way we always have? The way we’ve lived through diseases for tens of thousands of years
Why are our kids being taught by evil ignorant Karen’s ?

I have teachers in my family...from my husband who was Full Professor at 4 yr campus 40 yrs, and owned his own business, then teachers in jr high and elementary. The young set is just plain spoiled. We have over petted them. They feel so abused. When in a group at a private setting they talk about the kids, their parents in a not so nice way. They don't work the few days they are required. There are, of course, excellent teachers. However, these days they are few and far between. And IF they belong to a union--forget about it! And frankly, they know very little!! They are not the smartest people in the room. Oh they know how do the things that the kids don't need...I am so disgusted with these whiny, snotty, authoritarian so called teachers. Enough!

Not only are they not the smartest one in the room, often they are the dumbest. Education majors are really not college material. They are too lazy or stupid to get into Schools of Engineering, Business, or Arts and Sciences.

So wear a mask if you want to. Parents can have their kids wear a mask if they want to. Why is this so hard to comprehend?

A few governors have banned mask mandates for schools but have they banned the use of masks in schools? If teachers and students want to wear a mask while in school, are they allowed to? And if they're allowed to wear a mask, then wear one. As for the students, it is the parents who have the right to decide what is best for their child's health.

Perspective from DeSantis that CNN certainly has, but doesn't want you to hear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah4qBsMLzGg&lc=UgxYh6ekULGtiHXjodJ4AaABAg.9R1b30CC8jm9R30_r7R4DC
(Highlight after the colon, copy, and paste). Imagine Biden speaking to the issue....

I saw the article was from CNN and decided it wasn't worth reading.

Students are a far less risk from this virus than they were from any of the annual flu viruses over the last 10 or 20 years.
Why none of this faux concern then?
These teachers are either pathetically ill informed or disinformed, or are entirely disingenuous in their "concerns".
Is the threat to the students from the ChiCom virus zero? No. But it is far lower than many other threats that are totally ignored and have been for decades. Just stop with the fake concern.

Sure the teachers want to make a big issue. They got a whole year off with pay while the parents did their work. Putting a rag on a kids face that collects nasty stuff only to be taken back into the body with the next breath is really a healthy thing to do.

I have a hard time hearing and understanding what masked people are saying. I keep asking them to repeat, but most students won't. That means even dumber students moving from grade to grade to damaging a whole society due to ignorance related to things they should have learned in school. Many students are already a minimum of two years behind. Remember the wonk-wonk teacher in the Charlie Brown cartoons? On steroids with mask-wearing teachers. Take your kids out of public school! I'm already planning to support my children with homeschooling my grandchildren (if they ever get married and have children).

I love when media headlines talk down to us like we're third graders.

What these teachers are really worried about is having to go to work and do their job.;

Oh, OK. Hey, how about if each student puts their mask on the teacher's desk as they file out of the room. Would that be OK?
Bc, they're on the kids' faces! So if that's just fine, then putting them on your disk should be fine. Right?

What masks work at: Stopping large particles such as droplets from coughs, sneezes, or talking spray which is useful in hospital settings during surgery. If you are coughing or sneezing or have other symptoms, stay home. EVERYone will understand. Educate people about the symptoms; ditch the masks.
What they don't work at: Virusses in aerosols. Or stopping you from getting something that is everywhere.
Back in July of 2020, the CDC contacted people who tested positive and asked them a barrage of questions about their behavior, etc. 84% of those testing positive wore masks all or most of the time. Other studies showed mask compliance at about 85%. If masks worked, at all, fewer than those 85% mask wearers would have tested positive. In combination, this is proof, real world proof, that masks made no difference.
And, by the way, neither do those untested plexy shields or your silly social distancing. Sunlight and fresh air do. Being in a room with an infected person for 8 - 30 minutes is the best way to get sick if you are susceptible... and won't matter if you aren't.

Where is the Medical proof that Masks work?
That is the only question on the table, the rest are made up Communist excuses for their failures!

.What those teachers are doing is child abuse. Anyone who care about their kids will do whatever it takes to get them out of government schools.

Given that our kids are graduating without knowing how to do basic math or read at the appropriate level, does it realliy matter?

I am a teacher in one of these states, if these folks are that worried about Covid, they can wear a mask, get the vaccine, or quit. I have a hard time breathing and talking while teaching with a mask, I just want to do my job and be able to breathe at the same time!
