My 9th-grade daughter so far prefers this remote learning, as it makes efficient use of her time, and so gives her a lot more free time. At school, lots of kids don't want to focus (this is in the middle of Silicon Valley and helicopter parents), and slow down the class. Now she is away from that stress, and is a lot happier, despite her being an extrovert.
My daughter (also grade 9) has been doing online distance learning since grade 5. She often expresses how much she enjoys not having to deal with all the time wasted on discipline issues.
