This is a story, but it is a complicated one. "Whatever risks there are" hides a lot. And schools aren't closed. I agree that schools should provide more options, but not all kids are low risk, teachers & their families also count here (schools are also workplaces).

Yes. We should have focused (and still should) on safe infrastructure for kids who need to be in-house, and making sure that they can be, safely.

Ideally, this would be the time when state/federal governments would offer support to at least bring school facilities up to basic building codes (so that we could get to the ventilation issue)....https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2019/03/05/too-many-americas-public-schools-are-crumbling-literally-heres-one-plan-fix-them/ …

Seems a red herring to blame the fight over pods. The reason we aren't prioritizing schools is because reopening decisions are driven by short-term economic interest. Colleges are a multi-million (billion?) industry. Public schools are not.

I think it's time to treat this reality as a key constraint. We do not & will not have large-scale decision-making that is driven by public health. Given that, what do we do about schools? Yes, we could make it safer, but no, we won't fund that. Schools are facing budget CUTS.
