We're doing "pod-based" education for my 8th-grade son. A couple of times a week he goes to a friend's house. They have a large garage with lots of ventilation and have set up a few socially distanced workstations. The kids attend their online classes but can stay distanced or put on their masks and interact--pickle-ball, frisbee, baseball toss--between classes and during lunch. We return the favor one day a week. Has made a h.uge difference for my son, who was really depressed about the prospect of isolated online instruction for the foreseeable future.

Don't know about others, but the quality of education has improved somewhat from last spring, in my opinion. Not as good as in-person of course, but better than I expected.
