Scrubs are not appropriate for a classroom. They need to be washed just like regular clothing and have no magical germ repealing properties. As for being comfortable it really depends on your size because they are not always a great fit. Children (at least mine) associate scrubs with healthcare workers. Get some inexpensive machine washable clothing.
I'm curious as to what makes scrubs not appropriate in a classroom. I am being told I have to go into somewhere between 9-10 classrooms a day of children where there is not enough room to socially distance for me but the kids are spaced apart, where the students will be taking masks off to eat (oh but no indoor dining allowed). I will be wearing a KN95 mask (unless or until I can find N95's), a cloth mask over it, a headband where I can attach said mask, a face shield, my hair in a pony tail (possibly covered not sure yet), gloves, scrubs and a lab coat. I am sorry if this makes your children uncomfortable but I am going to do what I need to in order to protect myself and my family. I also will be standing in a corner near an open window and not going near a single child. If this doesn't work for you please feel free to keep your children home.
You really need to ask why scrubs are not appropriate for a classroom- I really think you are being dramatic- our clothing choices are associated with a certain role- we teach young children to identify the roles by how people dress- police officer, fire fighter, doctor, scientist, sanitation worker, basket ball player- need I go on. Scrubs are made of cotton or cotton polyester blends not magic germ fighting material. If you showed up dressed as you described acting as you described I would be on the phone with the principal and then the superintendent of my district- there is a level of professionalism I expect of professionals- do your job properly with confidence and professionalism or stay home like all the other teachers opting for an excuse.
I walk into a hospital 5 days a week to work in a lab wearing jeans and a shirt following the code of professionalism expected by my colleagues, collaborators and supervisors. Save you crap for someone who hasn’t been dealing with this for months!!
You're a nasty f**K. Call whoever you want because of what I chose to wear - you'll be on my list of people to sue if/when something happens to me or my family.. My oncologist whom is treating me for CANCER has told me I am to wear double layer masks, a face shield and my hair away from my face as I often touch it IF I go back. So if a parent doesn't like that too bad for them - keep your kid home during a pandemic if you don't like it.
If you have cancer and are at risk why not take a leave of absence? It sounds like the stress of the whole thing is getting to you and the stress of it is not going to help your treatment. I dont know that you will be able to sue if you get covid though. Sorry for your circumstances.
Health insurance - if I could leave I would
and yes if I am told that I can't wear PPE that makes me comfortable because an a**hole parent complained I will sue the s**t out of them
First of all, I am sorry you have Cancer. Cancer is terrible. I will honestly pray for your health, recovery and your family.
That being said, I think that by calling someone a nasty "f**ck and threatening to sue the s**t our of a**hole parents, and saying how you are going to stand in a corner and not go near a student is showing that you are not fit to be a teacher. I am so very glad that you do not teach in my children's school district (I do not live on Long Island.
If I knew what school district you taught in, I would report your posts to the Superintendent.
You can't do that, she'll sue you 
*sue the SHIT out of you.....

Scrubs?
Obviously this poster reacted emotionally but put yourself in her shoes for one minute. You're afraid for your health and people are attacking you for talking about following your doctors recommendations. Yes she said some inappropriate things but few on this board haven't done the same at one time or another and some of these responses are simply disgusting. Apparently some people have zero compassion.

No one has said anything about teachers wearing appropriate PPEs to protect themselves. Everyone should be doing the same. Wearing scrubs have nothing to do with PPEs. Her comments were uncalled for and really not unexpected as she is hostile or demeaning in almost every post she comments on. If you are that worried about your safety because of illness, go on LTD or take a leave, just like anyone else would do for any job.

She should probably take her full name out of her profile
Her telephone number is there as well.

Re: Scrubs?
NicoleF219: Please remove your personal info from your profile.
Also, please contact your teachers union for assistance with your situation. that is what they are there for. I strongly suggest for you to look into the American Disability Act as well and request a reasonable accommodation for your health situation. Be prepared to supply them with medical documentation signed by your doctor.
Again, please be careful of what you post on here and other forums. It was so easy to find out who you are and where you work.
Good Luck

So true. I remember that poster who recently told us all that her hospital was neglecting patients. She deactivated her account shortly thereafter. Careful what you share publicly.

Re: Scrubs?
I think we're all just trying our best right now, and should extend each other a bit of grace. Unless someone is doing something that will endanger me or my family, let them do it. I can think they're overreacting, but if that's what makes them comfortable, then so be it.
I'm sure that some of my family and friends think that I'm overreacting in some of my precautions, but at the end of the day, I'm the one who has to live with my neurosis.

Scrubs?
I don't care what my kids teachers wear, if it makes them feel safe, more power to you. The only thing that bothered me about her post was saying she would spend all day near a window and not go near any children.
Someone who has cancer and is currently undergoing chemo should not be going back to work. I do not know if she is a DOE teacher, but I know there you can apply for a medical accommodation. I would imagine it is the same elsewhere.

I don't disagree, I took that to be a bit of hyperbole. And yes, someone who is fighting cancer should 100% apply for medical accommodation.

Scrubs?
I'm sorry, but the poster sounds mentally unstable and I do not think she is fit for a classroom. Even if it's true that she has cancer, which I have my doubts since she didn't throw in there until after quite a few nonsensical rants about suing people and calling them names, I feel she could be a danger to her students and would not feel comfortable if I had kids in her school.

I totally agree with you. She needs therapy either way. Not to smart putting your personal info out there on a public forum. I feel bad for her students and hope she gets some help
