In reply to the discussion: Days after photos of packed hallways go viral, Paulding high school reports 9 COVID-19 cases [View all]Botany
(70,894 posts)1. Georgia student suspended after posting a photo of a crowded school hallway
In a letter to the community, Superintendent Brian Otott said the photo was taken out of context, writing: "Class changes at the high school level are a challenge when maintaining a specific schedule. It is an area we are continuing to work on in this new environment to find practicable ways to further limit students from congregating. Students are in this hallway environment for just a brief period as they move to their next class. ... There is no question that the photo does not look good. ... Wearing a mask is a personal choice, and there is no practical way to enforce a mandate to wear them."

Don't blame the school system. Blame the governor. It is his decision that masks
