To the contrary, by failing to return children to school, we may actually be putting them at risk of other complications, many of them dire and long lasting. In a recent guidance document that reflects these concerns, the American Academy of Pediatrics “strongly advocates that all policy considerations for the coming school year should start with a goal of having students physically present in school.” In other words, it is time to get kids back into the classroom. Even as we proceed cautiously, we cannot reasonably ask children who are at the lowest risk of infection to sacrifice the most to protect the rest of us.
The novel coronavirus that caused the pandemic will undoubtedly be with us in the fall. It’s understandable if some worry that children returning to school at full capacity will lead to increases in infection, though there are disagreements about to what degree kids present risk of spread. Some estimates suggest the effects of children in school are minimal compared to other social distancing efforts, with closures preventing as little as 2-4 percent of deaths. There are also indications children are half as likely to become infected as adults and are much less likely to spread the coronavirus than adults.
Meanwhile, keeping kids out of school puts them at significant risk of a wide range of negative health outcomes. A huge body of research before the pandemic showed when children are out of school for summer or holidays, they are less physically active, less cardiovascularly fit, have irregular sleep patterns — which can lead to a range of other health issues — and have worse nutrition, a particular issue for children who rely on schools for food. The negative outcomes of excessive screen time are well documented. Depression and anxiety have increased among young people during social isolation, and may be worse for children of color. We have every reason to believe children who are socially isolated during a pandemic are at even greater health risk, particularly as sports leagues, swimming pools, summer camps and other recreational facilities remain closed, and interaction with peers is unavailable.
