Because a kid will recover more easily from feeling responsible for their parent's death than they will from extended but finite lockdown?

I keep saying "do the cost-benefit" because you should do the cost-benefit. One option harms every child and potentially saves some parents' lives. The other harms practically no children and will likely lead to some more parents dying, although the data is unclear (as death rates in states with much more open schools is not consistently higher). Harm all kids to save a few parents on the margin...potentially? Do the…

Really? You think that a parent dying harms "practically no children"?

For christ's sake, I lost my father at 25 years old (10 years ago) and it still hurts me daily (at 35 now).

Your calculus is just plain fucking cold.

Sounds to me they likely don't have children. Even one week at home for my kid is damaging let alone a year. The kids weren't spreading covid to teachers. Teachers could have worn respirators and been fine. Governments should have kept covid out but harming children in this way to make up for disastrous decisions and behaviours of adults is unacceptable.

You should figure out why your child's household is so toxic. My son spent about 6 months last year at home. Between daily online classes, video calls with friends/cousins and activities at home. He was missing school/outside but I don't see any lasting negative impact of it.

you're an ass. my child is a toddler. they need to be exploring and interacting with other children, in person, playing, learning and receiving stimuli, not locked at home staring at screens.
