Conversation today with a former teacher, age 40:
"I had to quit my job teaching middle school math and English. Hundreds of unmasked mouth-breathers, and they wouldn't protect us. It wasn't worth the risk."

That’s crazy. They shouldn’t prevent teachers from wearing a mask if they want to! 🤦♂️

Annie, huge test, here in Oregon. No masks required in health care settings starting April 3.
Though I suspect many will wear fearing potential consequences.
By end of month something profound will arise 😷🧐🤔

A year ago, my daughter left employment in great Michigan, US, schools and doubled her salary the next week working for private practice as a speech language pathologist.

Yep, 40 this year. Quit teaching in 2020 when I saw how we were readily being prepped for slaughter. *All* my colleagues willingly walked towards the knife.

I'm sure that must have been a difficult decision if she loved her job, but I'm so glad she put her health first.

As a parent, I support any teacher who leaves the profession. I couldn’t imagine sending my children to unsafe schools and I certainly don’t regard teachers as human sacrifices to the illusion of normalcy.
I wish good things to every teacher seeking a better life.

With or without a mask, they're still mouth breathers. The only way to avoid shared air is a spacesuit.

Our mandate ended about a year and 1 month ago and I haven’t had any issues since, based on comments I see of more densely populated left places I can’t believe they still have mandated. Like 3 years into this whole bs
