Do you think Senior School children will have to wear face masks?

Because I honestly don't know how I am going to get my 11yr old to school if that's the case. He absolutely cannot stand being too hot - I'm already stressing about the compulsory tank top and blazer - he just won't cope in a mask all day. No official medical reason, he had severe eczema when younger and still has very sensitive skin but no longer seen by the doctor as we manage it with emollients and antihistamines. This is a potential nightmare for so many children.
By the way I am 100% for supporting teachers and keeping them as safe as possible, I think teachers are being treated appallingly. But I am coming at this from the child's perspective.

I think they will. The guidance for them is already there for transport.

I work in a secondary school and hope we all have to as it’s the only way I can see to reduce virus transmission in schools

If the trend towards increasing control of other people through social shame and new laws continues, who knows what will be demanded of teenagers.

As non-voters they are an easy target of the New Stasi, as has been shown throughout the lockdown they still cry wasn't quick or harsh enough.

I hope those who want to are allowed to.
My 13 and 11yr olds will be wearing them.
