Pictured: like one, maybe two kids wearing masks. Although weirdly they probably had to walk through metal detectors and have their bags searched. Because America. |
"Whatta scoop!"
-Watters (I hope)
|
She captioned her now viral (sorry) photo with:
"Day two at North Paulding High School. It is just as bad. We were stopped because it was jammed. We are close enough to the point where I got pushed multiple [sic] go to second block. This is not ok. Not to mention the 10% mask rate"
-Hanna Watters, teen reporter
(I'm not being sarcastic, I
am 100% pro-muckraker)
Well, they insist it's a punishment, but out of school is where the virus isn't so... |
Now if every student in America could just violate school policy we'd be good. |
Otott, seen here taking the "super" out of superintendent. Burn. |
"There is no question that the photo does not look good. I can understand if your first reaction was one of concern...Some individuals on social media are taking this photo and using it without context to criticize our school reopening efforts. Under the COVID-19 protocols we have adopted, class changes that look like this may happen, especially at a high school with more than 2,000 students."
-Superintendant Brian Otott, making
the case that: hey, whatta ya gonna do?
Above: a graver offense then spreading a pandemic. Evidently. |
-Brian Otott, a man inexplicably put
in charge of the education of children
Really? There's no practice way? To be clear, there are school policies that prohibit students from using their phones for social media during school hours and from posting pictures of fellow students online. And again, these are good, sensible policies. Policies backed up by the threat of suspension. But when there's an out-of-control, highly contagious respiratory illness that spreads like wildfire in enclosed spaces like, say a crowded school, wearing a mask is a personal choice and Hanna Watters gets a five day suspension.
Hey, I'm not an educator, but what if they told students that they have to wear masks? And then maybe suspend the students who refuse? You know, like a policy or something? |
