At the rate covid studies are being retracted, I’m hesitant to make ANY conclusions related to covid 19 spread for at least another few years. We still need time to let the dust settle.

In the UK, several peaks happened during the summer (July 2021, July 2022 [1]). I am sure kids contribute, like they typically spread many other contagious diseases, but they are far from being the only way covid spreaded. And given the educational cost of school closures, I hope people won't start concluding that closing schools is a good way to stop diseases.
