My cousin Cheryn is a kindergarten teacher in Florida. Want to hear how the five year olds are doing with safety policies?

"Where do I start? Lol They do not stay in their own space. They do not keep their germs to themselves. One girl bypassed the bathroom sink and came out to the classroom sink because there was poop on her hands and needed extra soap. When I can’t open lunch items for them because of contamination, they just hand it to their friend who uses their MOUTH to open said item. Forget the fact that there’s so much they CANNOT do for themselves and there is just NO way to sanitize my hands between touching or doing things for students. Any kids who wore masks had them off before mid day. Etc, etc, etc"

honestly, that sounds like someone describing an ST event. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 10, 14:34 2
- OK, I snorted Diet Coke. -- nm - loosilu Aug 10, 14:35 1
  - and my work here is done. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 10, 14:35
I mean, sounds exactly like what you would expect for 5 year olds, can't imagine Cheryn (or any of us) are surprised. -- nm - ty97 Aug 10, 14:33 2
- It's pretty clear she wasn't. -- nm - loosilu Aug 10, 14:34 1
  - oh yeah, she was sent into an impossible situation without any choice on her part -- nm - ty97 Aug 10, 14:40
no way was it ever going to work with young kids. Zero time to get schools and teachers ready to be safe. -- nm - Remlik Aug 10, 14:29
Do kids no longer care about cooties? -- nm - Dano Aug 10, 14:29 1
- LOL I should suggest that. -- nm - loosilu Aug 10, 14:33
My boss's wife is a teacher. She went back today (kids don't start until the end of the month - if they do). - Judge Bane Aug 10, 14:28 8
- No teacher I know (and I know a lot of them thru my sister) wants to go back. At all. -- nm - loosilu Aug 10, 14:33 4
  - It's complicated (and yes, a different story here). I don't want to do distance learning. That sucked and was ineffective. -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 14:46
  - I can't imagine I'd want to go back, but it's at least (maybe) different dealing with 11th/12th graders versus 5 year olds? -- nm - ty97 Aug 10, 14:41
  - I know a few who do (many of my college friends are teachers - we were a big teacher school). Many others are just... confused. - Judge Bane Aug 10, 14:38 1
    - I'm sure a lot depends on where they live and how the district is handling it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 10, 14:48
- Those shields are gonna end up disgusting. -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 14:32 2
  - It's like we're putting them in little gross zoos. -- nm - Judge Bane Aug 10, 14:37
  - In kindergarten? All snot. -- nm - loosilu Aug 10, 14:35
You can't expect small children to abide by social distancing. It's absurd to suggest this can be accomplished. - Mop Aug 10, 14:27
the very concept is laughable. It's like trying to social distance a petri dish. -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 14:23 1
- It is a petri dish. A really big one. -- nm - . Aug 10, 14:38
