"We know the impact of school closures falls largely on women; during the first lockdown, 41% of working women struggled to find childcare to cover their hours"
Thank you @devisridhar for including women in the schools debate - this is often missing!

@devisridhar Can I add fighting breast cancer and going through chemo into the mix?!! That adds a whole new dimension of chaos. And why, do we never have enough “devices” to all share?!

“closing schools...entrenches educational inequalities. This has an irreversible effect on people’s life chances. No amount of financial support can completely mitigate or reverse these harms, because schooling goes far beyond literacy and numeracy” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Hopefully this article is useful whether you're in the US, UK, France, Spain or any other country in the world trying to figure out how to re-open schools with COVID-19. Attempt at summarising what we know about schools & children. twitter.com/guardian/statu…
"The issue is far from clearcut: the science is still unfolding, particularly around the new variant...the real question isn’t whether schools are safe or not, but how we balance various harms, benefits and risks."
Essential reading from @devisridhar

This, from @devisridhar, brilliantly lays out how schools in the pandemic are not a simple issue. Written from a UK perspective but relevant far beyond

Everyone wants to know if schools are safe. Having reviewed the evidence carefully over the past 10 months, it's a complex answer. My take in the Guardian: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Es gibt keine einfachen Lösungen, aber es gibt etwas Evidenz und wir sollten diese nutzen um Kindern den Schulbesuch möglich zu machen. twitter.com/devisridhar/st…
Pourquoi la question de la fermeture/ouverture des écoles est un sujet où la balance bénéfices/risques est compliquée à établir ⤵️ twitter.com/devisridhar/st…
