Um, it says "can" and not "do". It says "can" because it depends entirely on the person wearing it. Trained professionals in a short term controlled environment, I am sure they work great. Kids in a school, not worth it. The neglect in "frequent hand-washing", "physical distancing", and other habits are going to lay waste to any positive impact the masks may have. No one is going to spend the time to instill the necessary habits to make masks worthwhile in school.

So teach the children how to wear masks. We don't let kids shit on the floor because they don't innately know how to use toilets...

  Who's going to teach them? Parents aren't going to have time or will miss critical areas. Teachers won't want to do it. If teachers do attempt it, it would likely be weeks or months of education down the drain since they'll be constantly taking breaks to correct students one by one.

    Who, in a school, I wonder, could possibly teach children something.... ...yeah, it'd be teachers teaching the children, and it would take a lot less time than weeks or months.

      No, no it would not. Most of it would be breaking thoughtless behavior. Johnny you have your fingers in your eyes again. Joan, did you wash your hands before and after smearing that lip gloss on? Etc... It is all pretty much worthless considering all the unmasked children gathered for lunch.

        Then don't have children gather unmasked for lunch indoors? You're just bringing up other things schools should do...

        > Then don't have children gather unmasked for lunch indoors? That's going to go over really well when it is snowing and windy, just really cold, etc. > You're just bringing up other things schools should do... You're just proving you don't have a clue what problems other areas face.

        The lunchtime outdoor temperature in Minneapolis today will be about 6 °F. Where would you suggest that children eat lunch?
