All over the world people really do do remote learning, even at primary school level.
Another fun thing you see in Sweden is prefabricated houses. In England, prefabs have a horrid reputation from the war years, but modern Swedish houses and flats are assembled from large prefabricated sections that arrive on a lorry and are assembled in just a day or two.
Remote learning for primary school requires a significant amount of time on the part of the parent, and lots of communal time for the children so that they develop adequate social skills.
Prefab has been a force particularly in commercial and industrial construction in the US for some time. My company has done a lot of work in the design and construction of standardized/commoditized hospital rooms, for example. It makes construction like an exercise in Legos :-)
