Having kids myself, I agree that public sector education was awful over Zoom - and yet private sector education seemed to do very well. For me, that's the biggest risk of all - those who already have fast internet, fast computers, large home offices will benefit. If mass home working becomes a thing, those already living in cramped, poor conditions are likely to suffer so the former can avoid a daily commute.

Can comment on the kids public versus private. My kids joined with other families to hire a tutor because the zoom classes for school were awful. Twenty kids, I’ve seen Thursday Thursday zoom meetings with 80 people be more productive. From what I understand the private schools had much smaller zoom calls, five kids what a number I heard a lot.

The older I get the more I believe in Cliff Stoll’s vision of education - one without technology. Zoom is convenient but it sucks the life out of learning.
