Let the children across the country repeat a year to keep them safe.
To not send children back to school with the death rate so high still and still so many unknowns about this virus. Schools are breeding grounds and unsafe for little ones and big ones. Why can we not just let them stay home safe until september and then they restart the year ?
They are not guinea pigs and the idea of them actually social distancing scares me, most teachers and parents. Why risk the r number increasing and things getting worse and putting them all in the firing line for it? It's just too soon.
