It's just that every other country in Europe, apart from the UK and, its actually Belarus, has made a different decision.
We can't know what is necessary at this stage, but the UK government has not performed well in this crisis so I am not inclined to automatically assume we are right and all the foreigners have got it wrong!

OK, why is it different for NHS staff? Why is it different for the Police? Why is it different for the people who keep the utilities (gas, electric, water, Internet, etc) going?
At some point you draw a line as to what is absolutely required, what is useful to keep going while you can, and what can be dispensed with.
Teachers, at the moment, are near the top of that middle bracket. The line will eventually move and schools will close, but doing it right now isn't absolutely necessary, so they're holding off from doing it.
