DS's Head Teacher thinks that the pupils short air on the side of caution regarding mask usage.

Errk 😬

Or perhaps Airk 😉

Should not short

TF I didn't expose myself in Pedants' Corner

should air?

So keep with masks for while until eg after half term?

Probably a good idea considering a high % of teachers aren't yet vaccinated, and more or less zero pupils.

Should wear them?

LOL. I don't have a view on the answer but the question's made me laugh.

Eh??

Should err?

Should err on the side of caution? Usually quite a sensible thing to do.

My dd will continue to wear them. I hope that her fellow students continue to do so too.

Should err or would be short of air?

Very very happy for the pupils to continue to wear them.

The terminology made me smile though.

Airing is kinda the opposite of what they're trying to achieve.

Should err or would be short of air?

Good point, well made.

Fluffed up the title. Causes confusion

Was that a typo or did you think it was air rather than err?

Air and err have very different pronunciation 😀

My typo? Ot Head Teacher's?

It's definitely in newsletter as Air

Muphry’s Law strikes again.

I assume that head teacher sent our a letter saying
“pupils should air on the side of caution”

Headteacher needs to seriously up his game with the old spellcheck and proofreader if he's going to make homophone errors.

It's definitely "err on the side of caution".

The headteacher is asking people to 'air' on the side of caution!?

One supposes that appointment of said head teacher was an 'air'🤣

Tah dah

Hee hee at the air/err confusion but air/error has made my day

Oh dear 🙈😂

@NaiceAftTea
