I thought the risk to children is super low though?

And if it is, wouldn't switching to a remote setting be way worse, because school at the lower levels isn't about teaching topics but about learning how to interact with people?

One or two years go by quickly as a working adult, but it's an incredibly long time for a child, having only online contact with people for such a long time will surely be worse for them, no?
