I think our school district did the best they could under the circumstances. Was it perfect? No. I think all the teachers did the best they could in a situation they were unprepared for.
The situation is a bit more complicated where I live because it's a rural area and not all of the town has internet access. This made it really difficult for some students to do the remote learning. (We were ok because we have internet access.) In the beginning the school also wasn't providing tablets/laptops. That got resolved and anyone that needed a device got one. The school also published a list of free wifi hotspots in town, but that really didn't solve the problem. With parents that were still working and older kids needed to watch younger ones, there was no one to drive kids to the places where the hotspots were. It's been a mess for those children.
It will be interesting to see what is finally decided.
