Yup - in Israel they explicitly made exceptions to school closures for children grades 3 and under of essential personnel. (i.e. let's make sure the doctors can be at work and not staying home with their 10-year-olds)

They did that in the Netherlands as well but for all lower schooling, up to about 12years of age, for everyone in 'essential jobs' meaning from healthcare to food distribution center employees to garbage collectors. They closed the schools not for any medical reason (they even said it in the official press conference) but for avoiding mass hysteria, as there was (and still is) no evidence it is required.

A common mistake in evaluating education is to just look at subject knowledge.

Good schools teach so much more. Teamwork, friendships, presentation skills etc. Those are a lot harder to homeschool.

Let 'em play!
