Parents say that when their kids are learning remotely, their behaviour is worse than when they are learning in person, according to a US study. The researchers surveyed 405 parents from January to May 2021 and found that parents reported that their kids had worse behaviour at home when they were learning remotely, while kids experiencing hybrid learning fell somewhere in between, showing better behaviour than when remote learning and worse behaviour than when learning in-person.
