@thatSilvaLining Another example... multiplication by partial products.
I guarantee NO parent (outside the field) has heard of this, and so that it *will* confuse. Also the Box Method and other names.
A GREAT way to instill the idea of place value, and therefore orders of magnitude.
@thatSilvaLining More importantly, if SSs understand this, then they lay the groundwork for understanding binomial expansion (Binomial Theorem), factoring, quadratic functions, and a whole host of stuff that supports later, higher learning that leads to the Calculus.
These are the missing links.

Think of the students... the mental and emotional impact (in no particular order) of:
• someone in their school dying... their class. A friend.
• a teacher dying
• having to self isolate anytime someone in their cohort is symptomatic.
The impact of...
• having to be continually reminded to put their mask on
• the breakdown of student-teacher relationships with teachers continually nagging students
• an unexpected school shut down for deep cleaning
• feelings of guilt if you transmit CoVid to someone
