As I understand it, the Fairfax school system had problems with remote learning back in the spring for two reasons--using older software (Blackboard, I believe) and running it on their own server instead of in the cloud. The outcome was initially a fiasco, as the system couldn't handle the big load.
This problem, and my experience, suggests that the educators advising the Fairfax County School Board weren't paying enough attention to their infrastructure, likely because they regarded it as a distraction from the real job of educating students and running the system.
As I used to say: "maintenance has no sex appeal".
