Indeed I was! I’m not sure the studies you linked would either confirm nor refute that point. I agree with your supposition that studies on Indian call centers probably don’t generalize particularly well.
Schooling is
Schooling and work are not congruous at all. The people participating are too different, they're there for different reasons, and they get a different payoff with a different timing on its turnaround.
Remote work translates to being able to take your coffee break at home and possibly do a load of laundry while you're waiting for a reply on an email, and being able to do a grocery run instead of commuting at the end of the day. Otherwise for most jobs it's fundamentally identical or straight up better.
