I am have been a teacher in Virginia for 15 years. I embraced virtual teaching. I embraced concurrent teaching. I embraced teaching in person in a mask while my students were masked and behind plexiglass. I have embraced it all. For the kids. Now the kids can unmask. I am so thankful for that. I look forward to the day when I will be ale to see ALL of my students’ faces again. However, it is just important for my students to see MY face (especially at the elementary level when students are learning to read). Please, give teachers the same freedom you gave the students today. Let us unmask. Let the students see their teachers’ faces again. It’s been two years. We’ve done our part.
