What it means to close schools from a retiree, teacher, mother and taxpayer. Part 1 statistics

"We are going digital
Everyone will get a computer and a hot spot."

Most countries throughout the world are reopening in person school for children of child care age- the average is fifth grade (10-11) in US standards.  This is true in Asia, Africa, Europe.
The older the child, the less contact they seem to have with brick and morter.
If there is a "cluster" schools will be closed for 14 days, in general.
Most countries the school opening and closing is up to the province.
