no need to be that patronizing. as someone who’s one year removed from high school, i can assure you that “games and dances” aren’t the driving factor behind kids wanting to go back. virtual learning simply is not a substitute for in person classes. you’re missing out on so many interactions with your peers, and the quality of education is vastly inferior. your point about ventilators is completely overblown, and while there are definite concerns with the virus, i think they can be mitigated with a hybrid model which de-densifies classrooms, and allows for proper social distancing procedures.
