Or the pandemic caused a lot of stress and anxiety for children, teachers, families, basically everyone on the planet and many are still suffering with it.. let's add in depression there as well.

Also moving to a completely new system without any real planning, infrastructure, or training is completely untenable.

Not to diminish the general advantage that in-person communication throughput can bring.

In addition to: (1) Real world vs. Virtual (2) The Stress and Anxiety of the Pandemic, there's a (3) thing that I observed. Both my kid and my wife (who's going back to higher education) both experienced instructors who were very technically illiterate. Some instructors were very capable, but others were pretty unprepared and helpless when it came to making use of digital-only approaches. I think that's in line with your last statement, cpuguy83.
