Sort of. I have school age kids but they are secondary so don't need nearly the same amount of entertaining or supervision as younger ones. Having them in the house hardly affected my work last time round but I wasn't impressed by the amount of work they did.
I'd be more supportive of online school if there wasn't a massive lack of access to it for less well off children. Plenty of affluent private schools had fairly impressive online offerings, that doesn't really work when a chunk of your kids are free school meals.
On the other side my friend who teaches at a private school had a very hard time as she was expected to teach online/live but also had two of her own primary school children off school who needed looking after.

Can't work if you have your kids to entertain.
