NEW YORK—Many school districts are currently hammering out the new paradigm in education, weighing the risks of COVID-19 versus the potential harm to students and teachers, as well as parents who need to get back to work.
Children and adolescents haven’t been significantly affected by COVID-19, and they’re less likely to be symptomatic or infected, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), a group of 67,000 pediatricians. AAP said children are also less likely to spread infection.
