Masks for school

Are you sending your DC into school with cloth face masks or disposable? How many do you think they'll need, and what are they taking spare ones in?

I think mine will need a few as they're bound to get lost!

Cloth. Mine are aged 7 & 9 and they only need to wear them in the hallways here, not in the classroom. So a clean one each day with a spare disposable in the side pocket of the schoolbag in case they lose or forget it.

@IceCreamAndCandyfloss I got them from my local pharmacy. They were a packet of 5 for £3.99. I really like them. Much more comfy than the surgical I'd been using. My DD prefers them too.

Got my kids cloth masks from this Etsy shop as they wanted comfort and fun designs. They have two clean ones per day - one to wear and one spare.

Cloth but with one of those pieces of shaped plastic pieces that go over your mouth and nose and keep the mask off them. Just about makes it bearable for longer periods. 2 a day.

[quote palacegirl77]@UserTwice Im sure she wont either. Which I why I think the whole thing is a publicity stunt to pacify the Unions and of no benefit to teachers or students alike. I will never forget Jennie Harries standing there saying that improper use could cause more problems than they solve. I am hoping she was wrong.[/quote]
Jennie Harries has said a lot of stupid things and told a lot of blatant lies whilst being firmly in the pocket of the government. How she can call herself a doctor I do not know. She should be utterly ashamed of herself. So much for the oath she took to do no harm.

So I would pay no heed to her.
