Why isn't more being done to make schools safer?

I've just come across this website and campaign: schools.forhealth.org/risk-reduction-strategies-for-reopening-schools/
It's US based, but the strategies seem pretty universal. Given how important almost everyone agrees it is to enable children to go back to school as soon as possible, and to prevent future school closures wherever possible, why isn't there any investment into this from our government? The sections on healthy buildings and modifying attendance (through rotas, blended learning etc) seem particularly relevant, along with mask wearing in classrooms. I genuinely don't understand why this isn't being prioritised, campaigned for by groups like Us for Them etc. And why aren't the opposition parties pushing for answers on this? Am I missing something?

The magic tape doesn't stop kids giving covid to each other. It's the fact their desks face forward that does that.

Yes because diffusion does not exist. It's a known fact that gases only travel in one direction, and even then only for 2m and then cease to exist Fucking Jenny Harris.

@mrsm43s you may find this research interesting, it looks into the spread of corona virus in a classroom in various situations.

I thought at the time that the high school children should have gone back on a rota basis from September until April. It makes no sense-everyone in, then everyone out. Teens would benefit greatly from getting into school even 2 days a week. I'm not sure how effective masks really are, since supermarkets are covid hotspots, and everyone i see in there is masked. Its the distancing-all the shops are so crowded all the time. I think it was better when we had to queue but didn't have masks.
I would support children going back part time for secondary, and throwing money at primary to enable more space/staff.

Well, Boris tells us schools are safe... therefore there is nothing more to do 😁.
