Rejected petition Close down schools amid the new lockdown

The Government should learn from the past lockdown, keeping schools open will just cause things to get worse. I would like the Government to close down schools so that there can be a future.

More details

I want the Government to do this because a child’s life is more important than a child’s education. The government says you cannot mingle with people outside your home, however in schools where everyone sits next to each other it’s ok. Really? That is not the way things should go during these harsh times. Life is more important than education.
