I put out over $500 of my own money every year for classroom things that should be supplied by the government........I shouldn't to pay for a mask to help save the lives of students and their loved ones, my colleagues and their loved ones or my loved ones. Honestly, you're probably better getting your own mask that fits you properly. I seen a CF mask (one size fits all) that the military is using (they made it) and it is ugly as F. Lol.

Hell my dad was a teacher for 30+ years, I know all about how he had to work with PAC to get litterally 90% of his funding to keep his classroom functioning and how many hours he did outside of school hours just driving around burning gas galore to get stuff for his students. He easily was spending thousands a year on fuel just getting supplies but he did it because of the students and knew it was part of his job unfortunately. Districts are given budgets, now its time for the to pull money from one section, and go out and buy all the teachers reusable masks out of their yearly budgets. With the Denmark model. Classes are split into 2 groups of 10. All day school for all K -5. Edited July 17, 2020 by kingofsurrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon NICU babies are potentially more susceptible. How the hell is that unit not ultra protected? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I guess that could work alright, kids 6-12 grades should be able to bus home (just get the buses to drive a couple extra routes during the day) and they should be able to stay home by themselves by that age for the most part.

One case in a healthcare setting can trigger an outbreak alert. Hopefully this is the case here. These are sometimes very fragile babies and all care needs to be taken for their protection. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is half days, 5 days a week. For k-5, Group A comes 8:30-11:30, group B comes 12:00-3:00. 15 kids per class in intermediate, 11 for primary. For MS and HS, I'm not sure how they'll work it. We don't have middle school in my district, so 6/7 will probably be similar to June.....maybe split up into 4 groups with each group coming for a full day and the other three groups online and one day online for all.

It will have to be a community led effort. Good neighbor / parents taking in kids classmates, grandparents, etc. People who can work from home should be OK.

Kids come all day. But cohort aplit into 2 groups. Group A in class - Group B goes...... then they switch. This works better for working parents wth this 5 day a week all day model. Is BC Gov. willing to pay for such a model.... I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
