Fully agree on all points. When the pandemic hit, I turned the backyard shed (windows, 12x10 at least) into a backyard one room schoolhouse for all of the same reasons. Put a Woodstove in it, wired the property with ubiquiti wifi everywhere (for their zoom meetings). The physical walk to a place meant for learning made all of the difference in the world for the k and 2nd grader who loved the whole experience.
Now since school is back in action, it has become the quiet place to hangout if outside gets too warm in the summer, or a peaceful retreat during snowstorms in the winter. It's cozy as heck.
Slowly becoming the "radio shack" as it has a goes receiver setup in it now and a couple long pieces of wire strung through the trees for shortwave listening.
The physical individual separation, even if being across the yard, makes all the difference to our brains.
