I fit in the "has wife and kids" category and so, as the study found, my perception of wfh is positive.

I worry though about the increase in learn-from-home options and how my kids will handle it when they hit their late teens. It would be very easy to isolate oneself physically. I don't think there is anything wrong with learning at home, but I do think it's good for young people to be forced to socialize with lots of others.

(I wonder why I don't think it as necessary for adults...is it a belief that we aren't as insecure and so will go have the interactions we want whereas young people let all sorts of internal things get in the way? I suspect this may apply to adults as well.)
