My kids are back in school now on a hybrid mode, 50% online/50% in person, which equals 100% ineffective. The bottom line is, it is not working. The technology is halfway there, still has long ways to go. Teachers and school districts (overall) are not trained to deal with it. Kids do not have the discipline either. But, it is what it is, and all I can do is try to compensate it by using some of the time with them at home to teach things that the school will not cover (e.g., cooking, financial literacy).

I'm with you there. It's not working, no one was prepared for this. I feel bad for parents who have young ones and work all day and can't homeschool them. In all honesty, most kids probably aren't going to learn or retain anything doing it all online or even 50% online.
