I think Scottish schools have been back since 12th ish August....

Half of Scotland should be dying by now based on some of the hysterical Facebook posts...

@StatisticalSense sorry I did post without reading how many kids had been tested. Apologies!
My child won’t be going back yet, he has Down Syndrome and a heart condition.

@TDGH1245ANON

Please make them wear masks in lessons so I don't die or my colleagues.

My child has sensory issues and ASD and won’t be able to learn with a mask on. So, no.

Also get a grip. The chances of either you, let alone your colleagues as well, dying of this off of a child in your class is very small. You probably present more danger to our children.

Just because a lot of people on mumsnet now see kids as killers.... it's really not the case.

I've been wearing a face shield this week, not as good as a mask but unlike a mask it bearable to wear for 8 hours a day and isn't a barrier to communication. It certainly stops the bigger droplets, why are these not being encouraged in school?

Because they don't work on their own! I wear a mask for much of the day and HATE it, but I'm not going to kid myself that visors do anything.

My dd school has said staff can wear visors in class (masks in the communist areas for all). I don’t know how common it is (or indeed if it actually does anything!) but certainly some schools are looking into it.

Why? It's going to protect neither the wearer nor anyone ekse, unless so close they think splatter on faces is a hazard.

@Qasd
If the school has actual communist areas it's probably alone in that regard let alone anything else...

Schools in Scotland will require masks in communal areas/corridors from Monday 31st. Not required in classrooms (yet)! Trying to find a decent mask for dd as she wears glasses and dont want her stumbling about half blind

Is that science, or "The Science"?
