But teachers do get Covid, and schools don’t work well without teachers

Yep The Sun was big on that too (this is one of those articles which uses the language of duty to coerce and subdue and isolate and disorientate and lay a guilt trip on teachers. Basically they're wanting to say that when schools close or part close or end up using TAs to cover, or when children get COVID, it's probably because teachers have been irresponsible. In fact, it's not The Sun saying that, according to the article it's PHE!)

Teachers warned not to break coronavirus rules outside classroom after PHE report finds they spread virus more than kids

(The Guardian, as far as I know, just didn't report this or the previous article about asymptomatic kids. Maybe I missed it.)
