A child of kindergarten age is simply not equipped to succeed in an online environment no matter how good the system (not that I'm defending Fairfax Co.). A child of that age has an attention span of seconds or minutes at best, and like I said above, a computer screen is just another TV. I feel for people with young children. My colleague, who does the same job as I do, has a young son who was supposed to start pre-school this fall. Now the school system went online and my colleague is trying to negotiate WFH privileges (yes, it's a privilege in academia) so he can be home in the mornings and work with his son to keep him focused on the online classroom. This whole issue of online vs F2F classes is a no-win situation when it comes to young children. There is no good solution.
