There are many homeschooling curricula that are tailored for remote learning or for parent assisted learning. The government schools tried to do remote learning just like a classroom, but remote. Big fail.
Parents I know who switched to homeschooling with classes designed for that did quite well, except that extra curriculars were all shut down by government.
The teachers unions insisted on schools being closed, despite no perceivable risk. It was known very early on that since ACE2 receptors kick in at puberty, there was very little if any risk to children. The disease needs those receptors.
If you look at Sweden

they kept schools open for up thru 10th grade, with no masks. The incidence of covid in teachers and other adult staff was pretty much the same as for the general population. The incidence of covid between 10th grade (in school) and 11th grade (remote) was indistinguishable.
In other words, kids may get it, but get a weak case. The incidence of severe infection was like the flu, and we don't shut down everything for the flu.
Also from this data, adults very rarely get a strong case from children.
This was known by the end of term in 2020 (spring). There is absolutely no excuse that school systems should have been shut down going into fall 2020 with this as a known fact.
