Yesterday, I was substitute teaching in Grade 4.
About 10 minutes into the morning, a student informed me I was wearing my mask inside out
Sure enough, I was.
I asked her, "Why did all the other teachers and students I passed not tell me?". She answered
"I think they wanted to humiliate you!"

@JudyEv That could be a fun post to start. Surely everyone has made a silly mistake.
Threads like that get started on the Mysteryshopforum. There are so many ways to make a mistake. Most don't feel silly at the time, but one might as well laugh afterwords.

I think they didn't want to embarrass you if they even noticed. A lot of people wear them backwards.

Maybe the other teachers did not notice it.

Most masks give the same protection backwards that they give the right way around.

@paigea I checked into it after I had mine on backwards one day.
The difference on paper masks is 1.7% if worn backwards compared to wearing it correctly. 1.7% isn't enough difference to matter.

That happened with me too! Wearing mask inside out! No one talked about it. But that's fine, May be they felt I am re-using the mask And saved .1 cent that day

@paigea It actually, but if you are using disposal masks then you will have threads irritating the face. If you are a male and have beard 
Chances of having rashes will be very high.

Her fellow teachers are too busy and no one ever noticed that the teacher wear the face mask in a wrong way.
