It would seem that being home away from other students and staff would make your life less stressful. In some ways it probably does, because you are not interacting with distracting individuals. However, some research recently done by NBS News and 'Challenge Success', an affiliate of Stanford University, found that kids learning from home experience somewhat more stress than kids learning completely or partly in the classroom. According to the research 56%  of the students that were surveyed reported greater stress than before the pandemic. In addition, more kids feel disengaged from school compared with before the pandemic started. Many students reported feeling distant from their friends, their classmates and their teachers. This is not surprising since remote learning means staying away from other people. Other the other hand students are spending more time doing homework. This may be because many classes are actually harder online and require more actual work to make up for the lack of participation in the classroom. It's a mixed bag overall. There have been a few benefits to learning from home but mostly there has been isolation and a real lack of motivation for some kids to get their work done.
