There is ZERO mention of any data or research in this article providing any evidence that this decision is a good one. It may be a good decision, BUT it hasn't been justified, as far as I can tell. Moreover, the article quotes school administrators, teachers, and their representatives stating in no uncertain terms that schools in the US do not yet have the resources necessary for reopening safely. What the heck?

There is no mention of the risk to teachers health either. It likely varies a lot country to country and region to region, but there are a significant number of of old teachers. However a brief look at the average age of the US teaching workforce shows a slightly younger teaching workforce than I'd have expected which presumably helps a little. One upside of the distinct gender bias in the teaching workforce is that females seem to fare better when they get corona virus, so there is that. https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/sass/tables/state_2004_19.asp https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/sass/tables/state_2004_19.asp https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2020.00152/full https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2020.0015...
