        Won't someone think of the children?! Especially the poor children? Lockdown is costing us FAR more than we gain in health harms prevented. Why aren't economists talking more about this cost vs benefit tradeoff?

        No, they weren't homeschooling. They were mainly using online platforms to try to do their regular schooling.

        If home schooling does not work, does working from home work equally poorly? I'd bet that for those that home schooling works, working from home could work, and the converse. Begs the question of why school everyone.

        Lockdowns are easy. Test, trace requires building an effective bureaucracy.

        What about Wright's Law? Why would we expect parity for the very first year when nobody is any good at it? We've had a brick and mortar educational system for centuries, and it seems to be getting *less* efficient.

        School is also a daycare. Am I right? P.s. I'm not.
