I recently spoke to a pair of high school juniors with very different perspectives on remote instruction. When schools shifted to remote instruction in March, Leslie (not her real name) was committed to keeping a strict schedule. Her pre-COVID routine included getting up early, then focusing on class and a full load of extracurricular activities. She also found time to socialize with friends.

Remote instruction has been really hard on Leslie. “The instruction is OK, but I miss my friends and my sports,” she told me.
