Do you think distance learning, e-learning, or  virtual (whatever you call it) is hindering learning?

I keep data on how many kids get on their conferences, and how much work is turned in compared to my in person kids.
I might get 30% of my E learners to actually do their work where I get 85 to 90% of my in person kids. 
It’s almost impossible to get parents to return phone calls and emails for the E learners.
I feel like those kids are not getting quality education.

Honestly I really think how much students are succeeding in a virtual setting depends on the family. I am teaching both virtual and in person currently and my daughter is full time virtual (5th grade). I feel my daughter has done great! She is learning and keeping up with her in person counterparts. However, I am on her every evening to get her work done, helping her make sure she getting things completed, and providing some of her accommodations for dyslexia like reading longer text to her. If I wasn’t constantly checking in with her and making sure she was completing all of her work and attending all of her zoom meetings she would easily fall behind.
With my own virtual students I have the trusted few that are very diligent about completing their work, I have some who do their work when they feel like it, and others I have not heard from all year long.
I honestly think some families just don’t get how much time teachers spend during class just keeping kids on task so they can complete their work.

I agree.
My son who is in Kindergarten is e-learning right now. (He is very hyper and having to wear a mask 8 hours a day would not work with him).
He does all his work everyday with his Pawpaw.
I am teaching in person 5 days a week.

I really think it depends on the parents.
My heart just hurts for the kids who parents don’t care.

I agree with you. We are still having a virtual choice next year, but there better be guidelines, not just any kid can do virtual learning

I’m sure it’s hindering learning. So is in person instruction with masks, distancing, no field trips, no interaction, etc. What’s better right now? I’d have to say in person learning .

We have pretty much tossed most thing out the window. We still wear masks and distance “when possible” but we are allowed to do group projects again and we still clean desks between each class.

I have all the 3-5 ELA virtual students across our district. They have all done an excellent job when I can get the parents out of their way. We have consistently led the scoring of our testing across the district in each of the 3 grade levels. My students have all shown gains this year. I think that it can work, but the parents and admin have to allow the teacher to have controll of the classes and set the tone in both behavior and expectations. Students will rise to the occasion if they are not given other options.
