Off the top of my head...

- Kids can spread it in their community

- Adults and elderly people work at schools

- Not all kids are fully vaccinated

- Kids are adaptable, it's adults who are throwing temper tantrums about having to wear a mask

- Most of the mental health effects mentioned in the article are consequences of school closures, not caused by wearing a mask and reducing crowding in the cafeteria. In fact masking can make school more normal and routine, by reducing the need for substitute teachers, or skipping PE because the gym teacher is out sick, etc.

You clearly have no kids, nor have you never dealt with any for any length of time.
Kids aren't tabula rasa. I don't know why you'd think you can just brainwash them to do what you want.
It's just people that don't have kids tell everyone how to deal with kids.

I guess they never tried putting masks on cats and dogs either.
