Remote learning only really works for self-motivated and engaged students. For everyone else, it’s effectively useless.

Well, yes and no.
At the end of the day the School Boards were caught off-guard, which, the first time was more than understandable. The second time was ridiculous. They had ages to prepare.
But what they shouldn't have done is essentially 'forgiven' the end of the school year that first time.
Which I think is what Slava was getting at and you are correct. Most of them went to watch TV and play Video Games.
Which again, has me bitching about Teaching Administration as opposed to Teachers themselves, theres plenty of crap to go around, but when the Administration basically flings their arms up in March and says:
"Pandemic! School's Out! Don't worry about it!"
And then a few weeks later turns to the Teachers and tells them to keep Teaching? You sold them out. Thats an almost impossible task.
