> have a hard time sitting there all day on the computer by themselves and learning

Is this how your local school is handling it? I can't even make it through full day meetings as an adult and pretty much zone out after 20 minutes of any online meetings I'm in now.



This is how most schools are handling it. Some combo of things like Google Classroom, zoom/webex/meet meetings, and various other apps & sites and online activities. They prescribe book reading, art & PE, but those are hard to track so they're typically not part of an online curriculum.

You also need to understand that if a kid has 2hr worth of work online, the odds are good they'll sit in front of the computer all day unless someone is supervising them. This is the real issue, especially for younger children.
