School have requested parents a mask on drop offs and pick ups. I’m not anti mask and I will wear one but I’m annoyed.
It’s a rural school. With less than 100 children. Majority of children aged year 4 and up walk to school on their own or at very least walk into the school grounds on their own. I barely see anyone dropping Ds (10) off. Maybe 1 other parent from a distance. Don’t come into close contact with teachers as it’s all done outside anyway.
They also have staggered times. So people going in and out different times and one way system.
With Dd who’s younger I see the parents of the children in her bubble but we all social distance.
Barely come into contact with anyone.
School are saying it’s because parents often talk but what do they do expect us to not talk to each other? What’s the issue with people talking whilst social distancing?! I’d understand if parents were standing in groups but it’s not like that here. Most parents are rushing off to work and too busy to talk. Others drop their kids and walk off quick like me 🤣
But being made to wear masks in a huge outdoor open space with plenty of room to distance? Really necessary? Lots of open space around the school! I just don’t really understand!
I don’t come into close contact with anyone during the school run!
