If by multiple posts you mean one post than sure.  However, since then you have made statements like most teachers work in an environment where they are the single adult and the students are unlikely to pass along the virus. Which again ignores that one statement you made and makes the argument focusing on the very young.

I made the distinction in my first two posts and have consistently made sure to focus on young children in my subsequent posts.  I have been careful with my words specifically so that I wouldn't be accused of this, and you have chosen to do so anyway.  It is very frustrating to have this done time and again on this forum.

Put bluntly, you are trying to fight with a strawman, and I ask that you not hijack my posts to do so.

If you wish to have a civilized conversation about what can be done with the older children, I welcome it.  But trying to pretend that you can twist my post to say something I did not is not the way.

I’m just going to post the part of my comment that you deleted for some reason, because it was the point of what I was saying.  (Talk about hijacking posts) Respond if you want, but the point stands for itself.

Fact is, middle and high school students have always been the biggest concern since they are much larger schools with more students jammed together in classes.  People in support of opening schools seem to focus entirely on elementary aged children and ignore the big risk in secondary education.
