Alison Curtis: I think children should wear masks in the classroom

Me wishing it were a policy is me simplifying the solution. All I can hope for is that classrooms remain open and safe.

Earlier in the week I put on my Twitter account a poll to see if parents of children under the age of 12 would be keen for them to wear masks in the classroom. For the first hour I got some interesting comments and the split was 60% in favour of mask wearing.

I left the poll up for three hours and decided to take it down as the comments grew nastier and angry.
