Let's say, for sake of argument, that the teachers are 100% correct. Remote learning is not the same is in person. It is harder to convey knowledge, and harder to absorb. What does that imply for the rage over the last 20 years of online college education?
If we can not educate to the same level of accomplishment at the elementary and secondary level, how is anything at the college level possible? This should result in an honest scrutiny of the quality of online colleges and universities. Yet, not a peep out of any media source on this.
The veil should be lifted and the sham exposed. Online education has been the biggest dumbing down of our advanced education system ever. It was the event horizon at which higher ed turned from a system that was focused on the creation of knowledge, to one that was primarily to produce revenues. Tell me again how this is a good thing?

so the interposition of a screen between instructor and student causes the big dumb down...
