I teach CS in college (in NL, not the US). In the discussion about online teaching many forget to take age into account. Age differences are huge. Let me repeat that: Age makes a huge difference. Especially below 21. Take my 18-yo and 22-yo students. They have responded to my online teaching in a very different way. The 18 year olds responded much better to physical teaching - most vocally preferred it - while older students generally preferred online. I could write a lot more about the details here but I'm on my phone My daughter teaches math in high school and what she sees can be summed up as: kids are social and need supervision, and a different approach depending on age. 12-year olds are basically still kids but as soon as puberty kicks in kids are overwhelmed by a series of physical, psychological and social changes. This makes life hard to navigate for them and for this reason they need guidance. So in my opinion remote learning (without local adult supervision) is the worst option for high school.
