I’m furiously speculating that in person pre-college public American education was mostly bad and this badness just carried over to remote education, but for whatever reason the badness is more apparent when conducted remotely.

I agree. Perhaps it was just easier to ignore when we weren't sitting directly next to our children. At least it was for me.

I like this take a lot. Similar to the difference between hearing about homelessness second hand and walking through an encampment in Seattle or DC.

What has stuck out to you the most while observing your kid’s remote classes?
