    • A Teacher Tale: Questions About the 2020-2021 School Year

      Posted at 1:54 pm by Jeddarae, on April 24, 2020

      Am I going to have to wear a mask to teach?

      If I do have to wear a mask . . .

      How are the kids going to see my facial expressions? That’s like, the best part of me as a teacher!

      Does this mean I have to up my eyeshadow game and learn how to properly apply winged eyeliner for once and for all to make up for the lack of, you know, a mouth? I’ve got to give the kids something interesting to look at. Looks like I’ll be watching a million Jaclyn Hill YouTube tutorials before August.

      Can I stop wearing lipstick to work? Who am I kidding. I rarely wore lipstick at work anyway . . .

      What happens when I sneeze? I’m obviously going to have to take off my mask to blow my nose and that’s going to break the law . . . Do I just count that mask as my Kleenex and whip it off and don a fresh one?

      Do I have to match my mask to my outfit? Or can you get away with clashing? Like is it crime against fashion to wear my orange and blue school polo shirt with a pink-ribbon-breast-cancer-awareness-patterned-ten -year-old-piece-of -scrap-fabric-diy mask that my MIL sewed for me? Maybe I need to find a subreddit about the art of mixing prints?
