I"m wondering about this too.
Yes. Kids (high school/middle school) must wear masks in our buildings. If they refuse, they will not be permitted in the building. They have an online option. They chose to be in school, and in doing so have agreed to the conditions/regulations that will be in place. We are a few weeks away from starting, but we have already been told that if a kid refuses to put a mask on he should be sent to the office with a disciplinary referral.
It depends on enforcement. If there isn’t at least decent enforcement of mask policies, it’s going to be much more than the occasional doffing of masks. And chances are teachers will quickly get sick of enforcing it.
Our school will have some masks available for kids who forgot theirs, but then are asking families to replace it the next day. Not sure how well that will work. But, in answer to your main question, YES. GTFO. I would think they should have a designated holding area (near office/clinic maybe) where a kid isn't forced outside in inclement weather or without some level of supervision. This is an easy decision if they had an option between remote or in person and chose to come to school...follow the rules or get GTFO. It would be a little dicier if there were no options and all were expected to be in school.
Are they running in a pack?
5 groups of 8-10 with a few minutes in between each group starting and no side by side running.
This. Our district will have 3 designated “health rooms” in each school. One of the health rooms will be an isolation room next to the clinic for anyone experiencing symptoms. If this were to happen at my school, I’d imagine we’d move the child to the room until someone came to pick him/her up. Like others have said, there is an online option. When parents agree to traditional school, they know what they’re signing up for. I also think it is wise to make masks part of the school’s dress code policy as opposed to some sort of separate mandate.
I’m curious to see what the National Enquirer says on the subject, got any links from them you can share?
Look at the other things this guy has written.
I don't think many in here have blasted the efforts of teachers who are trying to make the best of a horrible situation.
Yes. Right wing opinion piece should masquerade as fact or talking points for this forum.
I agree....
It's not lazy. It's going above and beyond what teachers are required to do in his district. I was being sarcastic.
That's not the point. The point is that he's going above and beyond what is required of him and you're still sitting back slagging teachers when you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. And your opinion is just that, your opinion. It's wrong, of course, but opinions are like #######s.
Listen I'm pro teacher and everything but you have to recognize the irony in lauding someone's level of effort because they drove to their normal place of employment.
No, not really. Not if it's in a building conducive to catching the virus with people coming in and out all day that are likely having contact with people exposed to the virus. No, I can't.
I'd guess at least 75% of my posts in this thread are praising the teachers in my daughter's school for their efforts in getting all of these young kids to wear masks at all times, primarily by setting the example with their own behavior.
That piece touches on the fact that thousands of teachers are fighting both sides of this. They dont want to be in school teaching (which i can at least understand), but then they also are fighting against recorded lessons and live broadcasts (which is crap).
Why would live sessions(via zoom or whatever other tech) not "count"?
Which educational platform will you be using?
What the hell is wrong with people? Someone call CPS.Craig_MiamiFL said:
I'm not disparaging all teachers. 3 of my sister in laws are teachers. 2 of them are phenomenal and definitely go above and beyond. The other not so much. Just collecting a paycheck. Just rubs me the wrong way when more and more stories keep coming out about their unions not wanting them to go back to work. Stuff like this comment irks me:
All businesses and the vast majority of the people working in them have had to make massive adjustments to their day to day operations. Teachers aren't alone.
