I'm sure virtual learning wasn't as valuable in many respects as in class teaching but it could actually have been more beneficial in other ways. And I'd say in most cases virtual learning wasn't a complete disaster because of the school and the teachers. Mostly these kids were failing because many kids didn't do **** on there own. They had no one looking over there shoulder making them immediately accountable and wouldn't work on there own. My wife is a virtual teacher and i've heard about it way too much. She felt helpless because no matter what she did to follow up with the student or the parents nothing seemed to make much of a difference. Even many of her "honors" kids gave zero effort and didn't do squat. Many instances it was cases where the parents were notified many times of the situation and never bothered to respond. She said she felt basically like a glorified truency officer with non stop follow up getting no results.
everything you described makes it a complete disaster.
