Yeah I can't agree with this viewpoint about schools I am afraid. No vaccinations in my daughters middle school, increased infections and it hasn't really affected the overall outcome. Whilst people dying is awful and heart wrenching, denying children a childhood is worse, in my opinion, of course. The average age of the people who have died is quiet old, and how many of those were directly, or indirectly infected by a child at school? Of couse we don't know.
As adults we can easily dismiss the long term, damaging effects, this pandemic has had on the people who will eventually be responsible for this planet, our kids. I have a 10 year old, and I could explain what it has done to children that my daughter knows. I could tell you how my daughter feels day to day. She is not dying, you are right, some of them feel as though they may as well be.
Let's not dismiss that.
