Here's What Teachers From Across the Country Want You to Know About Returning to School

Seventh grade Spanish Teacher Ivanna* said she's "not comfortable at all" with her school's plan to return to in-person classes in the fall. But she wouldn't necessarily want to share that information with her students' parents. "I don't want to cause additional worry," she told POPSUGAR.

She noted her school's reluctance to demand students wear masks as a concern. It's an especially confusing policy for Ivanna considering schools in her state closed earlier this year when there were very few COVID-19 cases, but are reopening without enforcing masks while the disease continues to spread more rapidly across the country. Still, she said she has no plans to leave her profession despite the health risk, telling POPSUGAR, "I love what I do."
