AIBU to ask whether the benefits of lockdown - saving lives and protecting health - outweighed the damage it did to children’s education and future life chances? I feel like kids lost out on so much during this time, and I wonder if the cost was too high.

I don’t know but I am interested in this question. I think maybe schools should have opened earlier than that they did. It might be a false memory but I seem to remember pubs opening before schools in Scotland and thinking that was a weird choice.
