I chose it because I found it illustrative, given the whiplash we experienced on the merits of it in the last 2 years. There's now a lot of people writing papers about learning loss and how children have fallen behind. The vast majority of parents I believe agree that learning from home was clearly inferior in a multitude of ways.

And yet you want to debate it, so I guess it's also illustrative of my main point, that if people want to believe something, they will slice and dice data or subjectively add/remove nuance and skepticism to key evidence in order to reach desired conclusions.
