.@DrBonnieHenry re: the 'layers of protection' that's supposed to make masks unnecessary in #bced classrooms, @Surrey_Schools teachers in the Fraser South Health Region see many holes in those layers. Please advise on how to fix them. 1/ Image
Fraser South has the fastest increases in Covid cases... Image
We have many schools at 150% capacity. Some at 200% capacity. How will Admin measures work? Image
Without physical barriers in small overcrowded classrooms and not enough custodians, will environmental measures be effective? Image
It would take 2 hours a day for the 12 - 20 times students in elementary schools will need to wash their hands. Many parents often send sick students to school because they have to go to work. Physical distancing is impossible in a 75 sq metre room filled with 32 people. Image
With all the holes in all the other 'layers of protection' please explain to us why masks will be optional? #bced #bcpoli #AskTeachers #WeWorkInSchools #SafeSeptemberBC Image

We're repeatedly told that schools have to stay open because that's important for students' mental health but whose mental health is being prioritized by Minister Whiteside? 🧵 1/?
#bcpoli #bced
2/?
Certainly not the student who's terrified that their maskless peers are sitting right next to them in a windowless classroom in a school with inadequate ventilation.
3/?
Nor is it the Grade 6 student who texts their mom in the middle of the day to fetch them from school because they're worried about all the maskless students sitting around them in class. They are terrified of taking the variant home to their 40 year old parents.

🧵 Teachers in #bced, in the absence of adequate protections from the @bcndp gov't, let's crowdsource best ideas to keep safe when there's no mask mandate.

1. Wear an N95 mask or equivalent that fits tightly around your face or if you don't have these, double mask.

#bcpoli
2. Follow the advice of Dr. Fauci and the mandatory rule of the Peel School District: wear goggles or a face shield. The virus is airborne. You need to keep it out of your eyes.

3. If you are lucky enough to have windows that open, keep them wide open. The virus is airborne. Don't give it opportunities to accumulate in your classroom.
If you're not, for the sake of survival, get a HEPA filter air purifier for your classroom. #bcpoli

Being calm & kind will support mental health but it's truth that will keep us safe.
To that end, a few question suggestions for @richardzussman:
What data, exactly, shows that there is low/no transmission in #bced schools & that students don't transmit the virus? 1/?
#bcpoli
2/?
Why did the Minister of Public Safety, and not the Public Health Officer, mandate masks in all indoor public spaces?

#bcpoli
3/?
Why did the Deputy Minister of Health, and not the Public Health officer, mandate masks in hospitals?

WHY was it the Minister of Public Safety that ordered the mask mandate for indoor public spaces?

Perhaps #bced teachers should implore @mikefarnworthbc to keep them safe in the indoor public spaces that classrooms are.
#bcpoli

bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document…
Is this why it was the Minister of Public Safety and not the Public Health Office behind the mask mandate?

To whom should terrified #bced teachers turn for legislative action on their behalf?
#bcpoli
bc.ctvnews.ca/retail-council…
And WHY was it the Ministry of Health that ordered the mask mandate in hospitals on 5 November and not the Public Health Office?

" As such, a vaccine alone, no matter how effective, will not tip the balance toward health because COVID-19 is not a disease; it is a symptom of an exhausted planet. "

Schools are being kept open not because of the need for educating students, their primary function, but because #bced performs a social safety net function in the provision of food, & the support of mental health in children. 1/?
2/? Schools perform these functions despite the fact that there is a Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction, a Ministry of Mental Health and Addictions, and a Ministry of Child and Family Development in BC.
3/? The ‘downsides’ that Dr Henry talks about to closing schools is not related to a loss of learning but to the loss of food and mental health support for children in one of the richest provinces in Canada. A province where 1 in 5 children lives in poverty.
