Speaking from a USA perspective, no, it was a complete shit show. And you know what? That is fine.
Our school district went from completely normal one day to remote learning the next. Huge swing in what to do and how to do it. There were no plans for a global pandemic. School districts learned quickly there were external factors affecting everyone's life at the same time. Parents losing jobs, food insecurity, child anxiety. All at once.
School districts eased up. Remote learning went quickly from trying to dive into things to one on one check ins to group hellos. The semester started winding down. Everyone passed and moved on.
Now, we're in the fall. School districts had months to prepare for an effective remote learning strategy. Let's see what happens.
(Between you, me and the tree, it's not going to go well, either.)
