That's the only thing that even threatens to make any sense.

I think it's a bit easier to close schools at this point in time because in many cases, it's near Spring Break, so a few extra days doesn't really mean much in terms of the overall school year.
In LA, we're doing Home School, as in all the Middle & High School students will be "attending" class online because they've been given school-issued Chromebooks.
As for the Elementary kids, they're being given school assignments via email, which need to be returned as if they're in school, as well as their daily reading, math practice, etc.
So in reality, at least in LA, the kids aren't missing out on the educational aspect, just the social aspect. Although I'm not even sure how much of the social aspect they'll miss out on because if the other kids across the nation are anything like mine, they're FaceTiming their friends daily.
