If the schools are open, then the kids are under supervision and

With the schools closed, the kids are free to do what they want,

In the case of the former the school/LEA/Council are liable in the latter
they (generally) aren't.
So which is safer, schools open or schools closed?
IMHO, provided the school has the legal staff
upil(*1) ratio, heating, lunch
provision and loos(*) school open is safer.
(*1) Note "staff" not just "teachers".
(*2) Do any schools still have, as their only toilets, unheated outside ones?
