There are many COVID restrictions that have been put into place at schools in order to help slow the spread of the virus.
Some of these restrictions include a 6-foot social distancing protocol, plastic shields in front of desks, and mandatory face-masks to be worn while inside.
In the post, it’s mentioned that “Those students who enter her classroom may have a tough time, but clearly they are in the hands of a caring teacher, and that’s something all parents can be grateful for. Thank you to the teachers, who, like Ms. Pierson, are doing all they can and more to make our kids feel safe and happy.”
The post has received plenty of positive feedback, with comments from people who wanted to thank Pierson for what she did to help make her students feel safe:
“Thank you for making it an inviting place to come especially for kindergarten, it is so sad and inappropriate to expect kids to not play when we know that’s how they experience the world around them.”
“I love your classroom. Glad they’re making it a fun thing even though there are all kinds of restrictions good luck … sending you my love.”
In Texas, where this classroom is located, there has been a recent spike in COVID cases.
According to Cafemom, “To date, Texas has reported more than 481,000 positive cases and more than 8,100 deaths. Just last week, it was reported that the state was actually undercounting virus deaths due to an ‘automation error,’ and after it was fixed, the number jumped by 8%.”
Luckily, the state has stepped up and decided to provide the schools with PPE so that the kids can remain safe and the cost of the supplies wouldn’t fall on the teachers or parents.
“The Texas Division of Emergency Management has armed Texas schools with more than 59 million masks, 567,948 gallons of sanitizer, 511,294 face shields, and 24,017 thermometers,” this according to NBC local affiliate KXAN.
