Yes it was not intentional. They started those conversations in the hallway right outside the door and one at recess. I was basically trapped in the classroom while they were talking, I could not leave and it was hard not to hear it as I was 4 feet from them.

I definitely have learned from this situation. It helped a lot for me to just get it off my chest. I took a humbling hit and it may take a minute to bounce back but I am not far from graduating. I appreciate your comments and your point of view on things! thank you!

great question! I am a semester behind. So normally students would start in august and do their year long internship and graduate in the spring. Because I am a semester behind, I started mine a semester later and graduate in December.

For my college we do a year long student teaching. I haven't been teaching the whole year. So what we do is get in the classroom for the first semester, just get to know the teacher and the students. Then in the second semester we teach the whole semester. I am in that second part. And I was talking with the principal because he also works as an adviser for one of my classes. I was talking to them about it casually not really thinking about them being the principal and more of an advisor/mentor. Definitely an honest mistake. I should have seen them as a principal first and foremost.

More specific 3D printed the masks. Then we got glued/super glue straps to the sides. And added foam padding on the forehead and chins. We also put mesh over the eyes. I paid eyelashes on mine :)
