This is a complex issue. Children are much less susceptible to infection or being spreaders but then again the adult staff will be vulnerable. Schools are really not set up for online learning and of course the best ones are likely to be very well funded…… so students from public schools are going to be much more disadvantaged.I will agree that schools should be closed while infection are still running rampant especially in America but the longer they are closed, the worse the outcome for the children’s education plus possibly their future employment prospects.
