I don't have a brilliant solution. But it's also not clear to me that this is the best we can do now. It might be better to skip the whole thing entirely.

If I were the author, I'd consider opting out of kindergarten, or do it intermittently.

How education adapted to this pandemic will be studied for years to come. Hopefully something more brilliant than Zoom will be discovered somewhere, and spread.

Often it's easier to find a solution by talking about a problem, rather than staying silent until you've solved it on your own.

This is the first thing that came to mind, not the best we can do.
