Death or major lung injury is irreparable.  One year of suboptimal education is not.  

Anyway, all of the moralizing about the importance of education is not going to matter when teachers choose not to go into classrooms or schools shut down after outbreaks.

I disagree.  A year of suboptimal education may well have permanent consequences on a larger swath of kids than the small number who will get sick from COVID-19 and the very small number who may die.  The IFR for kids under 18 is lower than influenza and we accept that risk in our kids.
