Really interesting qus raised here. It seems a lot rests on whether school closure increases or decreases adherence to other social distancing measures e.g. seeing grandparents. https://t.co/l27JzUapuO

@OhLottie #edutwitter - short thread
The day after the PM goes into intensive care with the virus and the role of schools, who have already received little recognition for their work (before and during the pandemic), gets trivialised again 😣🤯

A review of the available evidence does not clearly support the benefits of school closures, a high-cost non-pharmaceutical intervention, in controlling the spread of Covid-19. https://t.co/fFO5pBa5X4
I read a link to the research before I read the news articles knocking about and was frankly a bit bemused by the outpouring of anger. But that’s what I guess click bait is designed to do. This thread is great alongside reading the research article.

Read this excellent thread. The media reporting in relation to the report is ill-informed 'soundbite' at best. The actual analysis is far more complex & nuanced and reporting it as anything other than that is, frankly, irresponsible.
@head_teach I’ve just had a quick glance through the study cited and this article misrepresents what the study says. From my understanding it says that school closure ALONE have little effect, but alongside other measures...etc. Really disappointed with T
