It goes beyond hardware. Students who didn’t have parents at home supervising them just dropped out of lessons. My kids said that by the end of a remote class there were often only 4 our 5 students still in the video meeting. The rest had wandered off to watch Netflix or play videogames.
Remote learning only really works for self-motivated and engaged students. For everyone else, it’s effectively useless.
