I did an entire online master's degree and I absolutely did not teach myself. That's a misconception about remote learning. I had professors who were engaged and active with us. One of them even recruited me to work for him at my current employer because he knew me and knew what I was capable of.
Most elementary/middle/highschool kids are going to be somewhat "behind" at this point- but they are ALL behind together. Doesn't that really just move the bar for where they should be right now? Isn't that why a lot of colleges aren't requiring test scores now?
I would think the kids with scholarships and grants would be the ones who were still in school. It's the full pay kids who took a gap year- because they could. Can you even do that if you were on scholarship? I couldn't, but that was years and years ago. I had to be a full time student for the duration of the scholarship offer (4 year period). The money savings is in not staying on campus right now. And I would think students in tight financial situations would take advantage of that and get as many credits in as possible while not being forced to live on campus. I know several kids who beefed up their course load to graduate early (including one from Sciencewoman's university).
