With no planning, equipment or preparation, places jumped into trying to something new and drastically different and it failed.
No surprise that it didn't work. But that doesn't mean it can't work. It just seems a bit much to leave out the part about being completely unprepared to administer remote learning in the title.
Perhaps a better title might be along the lines of "Due to complete incompetence, schools failed to implement Remote Learning" Not a great headline, but a better summation of the story.
Also of note, the story clearly was happy with certain biases like “We all know there’s no substitute for learning in a school setting, and many students are struggling and falling far behind where they should be,” said Austin Beutner, superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District. There are alternatives that work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_education
