Abstract: The research bases on the analysis of comments from users of popular social networks and presents the reaction of the main participants in the educational process to the transition from traditional to distance education during the quarantine caused by the COVID‑19 pandemic in the spring and autumn 2020 in Krasnoyarsk. As in the modern world the opinion formed on the Internet is becoming more significant than scientific research, research is devoted to “public” vision of problems, opportunities and prospects of organizing and implementing the distance educational process. The theoretical framework of the study are publications of S. M. Karpoyan and E. A. Vezhnovets on the specific features and significance of Internet comments which main characteristic is increased subjectivity in assessments and social causality. The process of transition to distance education has divided students, teachers and teachers into two polar groups – supporters and opponents of distance learning. Internet users named following significant: the digital incompetence of some participants in the educational process; the inability of students to study educational material on their own; the lack of constructive interaction between the parent community and teachers. Positive reviews contain the following items: parents’ satisfaction with the fact distance education helped to identify the current problems of children in the learning process; expanded educational opportunities; free time for self‑ study courses.
