Should kids go back to school?

    In many California counties, kids are encouraged not to go back to school to contain the spread of covid-19. We understand this as Mayfair isn't going back to physical school for the fall 2020 semester. However, I do have several family members that are deciding if they should send their kids to school because their kids are young and they feel like they can't teach as well as professional teachers. I have one family member that is going into kindergarten without having gone though preschool and her parents are concerned with how their computer is going to teach their daughter how to read and write. 
    I had read an article that was recommended to me on Google and one statement stood out to me. Younger kids are less likely to contract coronavirus and definitely less likely to die from it. Also, younger kids are the ones that need in-person learning more than the average high schooler. Although they should be taking precautions, certain groups such as preschoolers may suffer more from online learning.
