The wearing of face masks in school, would it work?

The Wearing of Face masks in a school setting... thoughts from a teacher who has survived the Bottle Flip, The Dab, Skirt Rolling,Fidget Spinners, Yawn Raping, Tie Peanuts..

1. Someone's mother, probably Flossie's, will pimp the mask. It will be a sea of rhinestones and sequins and every girl under 10 will want one and refuse to wear a 'boring' one and teachers and parents will cry. Then they all won't wear them.
   
2. Someone will have a designer posh mask with a Hype label or some nonsense. They will all then want one and will drive their parents mental saying they can't possibly go to school with a homemade mask or even a proper clinical mask. These overpriced, clinically useless masks will sell out but few will get them and then there will be tantrums and they won't wear them.
   
3. Girls aged 13 and above will notice they give you spots and then they won't wear them.
   
4. The same girls will also need a new mask every 10 mins as it gets caked in their foundation and this is a faff so they won't wear them.
   
5. The same girls will take 1000 selfies wearing the mask, hate it, hate themselves, roll it down a bit like their skirts so it becomes totally ineffective and then they won't wear them.
   
6. Twanging the Mask (the new peanutting) will be great fun. Mostly for the boys who will twang the mask and shout CORONA at the top of their voices. They will do this to Flossie and rhinestones and sequins will be all over the classroom. She will cry, they will all get twanging friction burns and then they won't wear them.
   
7. They wll draw penises on them. Anatomically quite accurate but hugely inappropriate and then we will have to confiscate them and tell them not to wear them.
   
8. They will own a mask which they will wear on arrival at school and when reminded 1 million times by their teachers - that same mask will be left screwed up in their bags the minute the school day is over because they won't be seen dead outside the school wearing them.
   
9. They will wear the mask at school when reminded 1 million times by their teachers, but once they start getting changed for PE, that mask and where it ends up is anyone's guess. And the chances of the same mask returning to its original owner after is 0%. So they won't wear them.
   
10. They will wear their masks at break and lunch time when reminded 1 million times by their teachers, canteen staff and Mid-Day assistants. Someone will try to eat whilst still wearing the mask and end up with bolognese sauce all down the mask whereupon the other kids will take the micky forever more. So no one will wear the masks at break or lunch time.

Brilliant and likely to be true! My favourite is trying to eat with them and ending up with bolognese sauce all over them

[elsiegee40]

I so agree that this is likely to be completely true!

I probably don’t want to know the answer to this but What on God’s green earth is yawn raping?

Given how difficult health care workers have found it to tolerate, the chances of them being used effectively in school is worse than zero (i.e. Likely to do more harm than good due to being worn indirectly.)

 

The specialists working on the Covid wards with ffp3 masks are suffering from sores on their skin.

 

The people working on "general" duty wearing fabric surgical masks are told to wear them for 4 hours during which time they can't drink, eat or touch their face in any way.

Thanks - I'll add that to the list of things I didn't want to know
