Parents of elementary school children in Toronto are expressing concern after their children were asked not to speak during lunch in an effort to curb transmission of COVID-19.

Teresa Ostrom told CTV News Toronto on Friday that her child, who attends Alvin Curling Public School in Scarborough, has been asked not to speak during the period in which they are unmasked and eating lunch.

While the health and safety measure is meant to minimize aerosol transmission the virus, some parents are concerned that the time, usually meant for socialization, is being replaced with screen time.

Don’t have friends. That might threaten our authority over
you. Just remain alone and vulnerable to our whims!

Well don’t kids mostly text these days anyways? I don’t see much of a change here. Also not talking but using phone SMS might lead to the kids saying more critical things of the staff to one another

Possibly. It's also possible they will become revolutionaries wanting to destroy the governments that oppressed them as children.

The governing generation presently in power is the late-'60s and '70s hippies and "activists" grown old. They want to kill this country they've always hated before they croak.

They've always been insane.

Evil and insanity are not mutually exclusive (e.g., Stalin).

The left simply wants compliant little zombies, don’t they? Many of them probably secretly love all the videos from North Korea, and China, with the perfectly synchronized shows and crap.
I see those and I shudder. I know those people must perform perfectly or die, and maybe their families die too.

Monks and nuns don’t speak while eating.

Are they preparing them for religious orders?
