If you're vaccinated and masked , you should be fine. Unless the students agree to wear them, JoanofArgh Aug 2021 #4

I have to go back into the classroom next week, ack!

I am vaccinated, masked, and working with young adults who have younger siblings, children, and/or elderly clients who can't be vaccinated or need a booster. I don't want my classroom to spread death. I know some are not vaccinated because they fear fertility problems. I swear I want to say something unkind about that.

I don't know what you can do. Maybe have some masks in the classroom and see if any them will wear them? I feel so bad for everybody down there.
