There has been a lot of misreporting on different aspects of the pandemic, but I don't think any single topic has been misreported, misunderstood and sensationalized to the point of misinformation more than the topic of children, schools and this pandemic.

There was no option without downsides, no solution without trade-offs but we did not have that discussion. It got lost in the polarization, sensationalism, misreporting and the fear. I honestly don't know if the already suffering public education this country will ever recover...

Why should schools be responsible for fixing all of these disparities? I'm tired of that assumption going unchallenged, especially given that the students suffering most from not going to school are the same ones at greatest risk for contracting COVID.

Even if we assume the risk to children is extremely low, the risk to faculty and staff is much greater and many are in higher risk groups. They have to work indoors close to others for long hours with poor ventilation..

I would feel much more comfortable about opening schools if we could deploy large scale rapid-result testing to identify potential outbreaks among faculty, staff and students quickly.

"we could have tried to open up at least K-5 in many places" this is an understatement! We could have opened the schools. I would like someone to give any examples of multi-month public school closures in the U.S. we think are doing more good than harm.

We could have immediately acknowledged & publicized that the reopen agenda (forced choices) was a
#Fascist move intended to force the collapse of the public ed system by the#KochNetwork &#CNP filled WH admin. & GOP. -
Even the soft reopen plans promoted by Scott Gottlieb (an AEI fellow &
#Koch appointee) and GOP Governors was never based on science or the public good. AEI (a#RightWing#Koch think tank) authored the plan & then mobilized their "web of influence" to push it via several channelspic.twitter.com/DzhQNA6StS
