The most idiotic aspect of "virtual learning", particularly if it is home based, is the notion ALL students live in stable, normal homes-- comparable to a school environment which is quiet, disciplined, and where a definitive schedule is adhered to.

Another aspect being overlooked here is thousands of poor students coming from marginal, UNstable homes are being fed breakfast and lunch at their school-- so they are not distracted by the fact they are hungry. Just how does "virtual learning" address this?

It doesn't.
