I’d say my son and most (but not all) of his classmates in elementary school did as good with virtual learning as they did with in person. Of course, there’s the huge asterisk. This is all because most of those children had at least one parent who could and did actively take part in the virtual learning. Very lucky. What it tells me though, is that the issue of virtual learning is not one of pedagogy or whatever, but simply one of money. It’s expensive to keep one person at home to teach kids on an ad-hoc basis. We don’t want to really invest in education, so the other unavoidable choice is to “let er rip” through schools.
