I have absolutely no quarrel with the fact the COVOD-19 is nasty and even fatal in high-risk populations. In fact, a low-risk friend of mine caught it early on and she went through HELL. Granted, she is 55 and is on the cusp of increasing risk, though.
This article by FEE takes issue with unwarranted and unscientific school closures and other forms of isolation in low-risk groups. Such as kids, teens, and young adults. And this includes most teachers so the argument that they are at risk is tenuous at best, a scare tactic at worst.
Let the students sit on open-air chairs and if you're going to get freaked out then the teachers can stand behind a plexiglass shield. Makes sense, eh?
"The death of a teenager is a tragic reminder that there are myriad risks and tradeoffs regardless of whatever course schools, businesses, and organizations take. “Stay home, stay safe” may be a nice catchphrase, but we should not presume that staying at home is safer, and we should definitely resist making that choice for others."
