i'm mad and I can't do much about it except rant about it here
as we all know, coronavirus is a thing.
One of my teachers got tested for it AFTER she was at school. Its just a cold. I know, nothing to be worried about. She came into contact with me, and I came into contact with my parents. For the last two days we have been self isolating until my teachers results came back. They haven't yet. This is so if she is positive, we're minimalising the risk of it being spread. My family and I refuse to be a part of the reason that coronavirus spreads through our very small community. Our community is made up of mainly old people and corona will kill them. I refuse to be part of the reason for that, even if the likelyness of my teacher having the virus is very small.
I'm back at school and wearing a mask, sanitizing before I leave a room and as soon as I come back into it.
Yes, i'm the only person wearing a mask and I'm okay with that. But I am not okay with being belittled by my teacher for trying to protect myself and others around me. I'm actually quite disappointed that a teacher, a role model, is telling me that its pointless wearing a mask. It is not pointless. I may not be showing symptoms, but that doesn't mean I'm not carrying the virus. If a teacher thinks that me wearing a mask is unnecessary then I'm not entirely sure how comfortable I am at school being around other students that have been to populated places, and that we can't be certain are staying hygienic.
So i will be having a conversation with my parents about continuing online learning until my teachers results come back, or until I feel more comfortable being in a school setting.
anyway, rant over. I know that all 18 of my followers won't read this but its good getting it out there. Thank you.
