I'm not sure there's any reason to believe any of these things. What we do know is that we've trained almost every teacher to teach and learn in classrooms, and that using techniques developed in classrooms to teach remotely don't work well.
We've barely spent any time at all developing techniques for remote learning, and we're already throwing up our hands.

- darkerside 6y agoWell, we need to operate from a baseline of where we are today. In a vacuum where we have been developing remote teaching techniques for just as long as in-person, you're right that perhaps remote teaching would be _even more effective_, but we simply have no way of knowing. Per the rest of my comment, I agree that rather than complain about the situation, we should be identifying ways to mitigate or exploit the situation to improve learning.
