The problem we have right now is that schools were closed but other social avenues weren't/aren't open.
We have the option here in Ontario to keep our kids home and do home learning. But anything else the kids might do to get social exposure and even physical exertion is effectively closed.
Real home schooled kids usually have clubs and so on that they attend to hang out with other kids. That avenue is closed off.
My kids have to go back, just for their own mental health. As awful as the schools might be right now, they'll be better than being stuck at home playing Dragon Quest Builders II through for the third time.
