My kids, who both attend college, have told me and my wife multiple times that they "enjoy remote learning" only for us to turn around and hear them complain about pent up energy. I pity them for having to deal with a new (perhaps persistent) education dynamic and not be able to enjoy their college party years. On the other hand, we both feel that remote learning is the new normal and we as humans should find new ways to adapt to this bourgeoning learning method.
