Firstly I want to make absolutely clear that by "can" I mean people in similar circumstances to myself. I've no job anymore due to coronavirus, my industry will be one of the last to find its feet so I'm likely unemployed for the forseeable. Fortunately my partner is able to cover bills etc with his income.
I'm a bit wary of schools going back in August. For me it feels too soon.
However, I also know it's not soon enough for many other families. That working parents are struggling and for many other reasons kids are really missing school.
Am I being unreasonable then in thinking perhaps that people like myself, with nothing better to do anyway (and have the mental resources) are doing everyone else a favour by keeping our kids home to make life easier for teachers and other kids trying to manage in cramped schools? To make social distancing in the classroom easier for those who need and want to be there.

AIBU?
To think if you can keep your kids off school beyond September, you should?
