Probably positive for self-esteem and growth. Perhaps schools now are too focused on academic scores alone and too ignorant of negative social dynamics.
- andrepd 6y agoThe cynical view would be that school is there to manufacture good workers for the future wage-labour rat race. So they aren't focused on things beyond so-called "practical" development by design. I don't necessarily agree 100% with this view but I'm sure it has some grain of truth.

You sit at your desk most of the time in your classroom. The same way you do at home in an online class. But home is relatively more comfy. You are allowed to eat, stretch, sit anyway you like, take a walk, go to washroom as many times as you want, and play a game on the side in an online class. Less chances for kids to bully each other and if they did, digital evidence of it is available. Some teachers behave better. I wish some sort of hybrid will come. Activities that require sitting in a classroom should be shifted to remote while others can be built into a separate school.
