I'm not sure how our society can say "COVID parties are bad, but in-person classes are good."

Well,
In-person classes are considered "essential" and Covid parties are not
In-person classes feed hungry kids and provides a place for school-based therapy diagnoses, Covid parties do not
In-person classes decrease the massive increases in inequality in society, Covid parties do not
In-person classes can require spacing, Covid parties, by their nature, do not
I-person classes can require masks, Covid parties, by their nature, do not
In-person classes can require sanitizing, Covid parties do not
In-person classes can be done outdoors as much as possible, and can require ventilation like open windows, Covid parties generally do not
In-person classes can screen students for symptoms, Covid parties generally do not
In-person classes shouldn't involve alcohol, and alcohol has been linked to a lot of transmission (or as I say, drunk talking is a lot like singing)
Preliminary evidence shows children may become infected less, and may infect others less
(From the Iceland study: “One of the very interesting things is that, in all our data, there are only two examples where a child infected a parent,” Stefánsson told me. “But there are lots of examples where parents infected children.”)
