> Remote teaching may be harder, require more work, and have pitfalls that are quickly overcome in person.

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.
