This is definitely an issue for families which don’t have access to computers & broadband internet. For the rest, I wonder if the results would have been better if there had ideas from the home-schooling community which could have been incorporated. Granted, this would require way more effort from the parent and a different mindset. However a primer on what to expect, how to overcome obstacles, keeping kids on track, etc. Traditional schools are totally unprepared for this scenario in a remote world. Storytime, a few years back one of my ex-colleagues decided to buy a ranch on the outskirts of Seattle to work remotely. What made the decision easier was that A) his pre-teen kids were already being homeschooled B) his spouse was a stay at home mom who spent a significant amount of time keeping the kids on track. He showed me pictures of the house which looked beautiful. Sat on the edge of a lake with a backdrop against the mountains and came with a stable for horses and livestock.
