> I'm confused about HN. Everyone here seems to agree that in person learning is best and not remote, but exactly the other way around when it comes to work
One group is composed of children, who we collectively agree need to be supervised for the good of their future and society at large. Kids are irresponsible and we cannot throw kids out of the system when they fail at those expectations. So to maximize participation, you need intervention. The other is not the same, because they are adults and held to different expectations or they are removed from the system. Attendance is not an effective measure of success in almost any work environment (where you can complete tasks remotely) so remote is fine, in these cases. There's nothing confusing about it.
