Measures taken in schools are/were not to save lives of kids (who die in 0.0001% of cases). They are to prevent kids catching it and infecting teachers and grandparents at home.
This latter risk is not hypothetical - anecdotally my kid's primary school had one teacher die (in their early 50s), and in more general terms, school re-openings after lockdowns reliably seem to lead to spikes in deaths in elderly a month later.
