Is there any point in my dd doing this course?

My dd aged 16 has just started a level 3 vocational course at college. The course didn't even start until 21st Sep when normally the term dates would be exactly the same as schools. She is only to go in 1 day a week and the rest is online. For this 1 day a week, she has gone in and been done by lunch or 2pm both times. Can't interact with others as they are all sat 2m apart so no chance to make friends. The 1st week she was given some basic work to do and nothing else structured and no online classes. This week she's had about 45 mins of on online class yesterday and today. Now she's just found out 1 of her tutors has tested positive so the whole department has to isolate so that's it. No more attendance for 3 weeks (why isn't it 2 I don't know). Then it's half term!
So after spending the last 6 months doing nothing she's now got another month of doing the same. She thinks it's great. Out with a friend most nights, in bed all morning. I'm pissed off with it all and think it's a complete waste of time.

I would pay a lot of money for the GCSE/A level equivalent of the OU. At least then I know that my kids can access high quality teaching. There’s a huge market out there for this sort of thing.
The Oak National Academy online lessons are superb, especially for languages

Sounds a lot like my degree course I've just started to be honest! Definitely doesn't feel like £9250 worth of education!
