How is "the science here is still uncertain" an argument against masks in schools?

If it turns out they are useful, wearing them will have been a good idea.

If it turns out that they weren't useful, what harm has been caused?

(I'm aware that there are people out there who think wearing masks for a year or two will scar children for life, but for the most part I don't think those people are arguing in good faith. The biggest harm I see is to children with hearing problems who are prevented from lip reading.)
