To be confused about teachers 🤣🙈

So I actually am not against school closing but something today on the school letter we receive sort of bugged me.
The teachers who had raised concerns and want schools to shut who were then sort of jumped on about others are having to work. Said well yes but nurses and supermarkets have PPE we are being left without none of that in a classroom. However our school letter today said teachers must wear PPE in corridors etc and have been offered PPE for in the classrooms but most have chosen not to do so 🤣
So now I am confused what is that schools want ?

Whether teachers are allowed to wear masks is up to the school to decide.

Most AFAIK have said 'no PPE in the classroom',
some have said 'If you want to'

Most teachers that I know would like masks to be worn buy all in school at all times. (some teachers don't want this either).

Well I can’t speak for all teachers as I’m sure we are all different.

I personally would like the government to acknowledge that schools can be a risky environment for Covid spread. Rather than constantly gaslighting and repeating that schools are safe.

I am happy to go to work despite having an ECV toddler at home. I just want an honest conversation and to be treated like an adult.

At my daughter's school (a primary in England) the teachers wear face shields and/ or masks when they are not at the front of the class 'behind the line'. They also wear them at pick up/ drop off etc. I think it's entirely their choice (as it should be).

I wear a mask at drop off and collection and also in the classroom if I am working closely with a child.
