Do not make face masks compulsory in English classrooms

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Please do not mandate the wearing of face coverings in secondary school classrooms across England.
Allow students who wish to wear them to do so. Provide teachers with more protection. Wearing a face covering for 6 hours a day will be uncomfortable and may increase the risk of the virus spreading.

Please provide scientific evidence and a cost benefit analysis. We would like government to ensure us this won't be mandated and will be entirely optional.
