Doesn't everyone remember this photo where the high school girl was suspended for taking a picture of kids not wearing masks in a crowded high school?

Look how that school district is doing: 
Around 2,000 in person students and 3,000 staff members
COVID cases:
Week of Dec. 7- 131 cases
Week of Dec. 14- 169 cases
Past two week in Jan. 99 cases with 592 close contacts found

Who can still think no one is passing along Covid in schools? Europe is now closing schools. [/quote]

No one is saying COVID doesn’t pass at schools- it just tends to be at levels reflective of the community at large.  In the community you are referencing- I doubt the residents care.  I say this because I have extended family in similar communities down south, and they don’t care. They’ve all been leading normal lives since the summer, they’ve accepted COVID as just something to live with.  [/quote]

COVID spreads when you don't follow safety precautions.  The picture shows a school that chose NOT to follow safety precautions.  Of course they will have spread. Europe may be closing schools but they were open for the past year.  Not a comparative decision when they are not dealing with the impact of a year of school closures.

My kids attend a local private that follows the safety protocols.  Teachers, staff, and students are tested weekly so we know if there are asymptomatic cases. Since September, there have been 6 positive cases (3 occurred during holiday breaks when the kids had no exposure to their teacher or classmates).  There has been one case of transmission at school between students.  There have been no cases of spread between adults and children.  While the risk is not ZERO, the risk of COVID spread is quite low.   [/quote]
