Not sure why that matters. The point is that parents want their kids in school and the current pandemic conditions restricts that, so parents are forced to be at home with their kids instead of working at a job.
It turns out the question isn't "what provides the best education for kids (at home/in person)", it's "what provides the most convenience for parents".
You could have parental-supervised online learning be 5x as good as in-person, but society demands we send kids to school to get them out of the house so a parent can work. We pay lip service to the actual education of the child.
No real point except pulling the veil from our revealed preferences.
