Yup.

The most obvious solution is for school to open for this who need or want it. Families who have concerns can watch live feed of their classrooms and learn that way. [/quote]

If you watched a live stream of my 90 minute high school class you would spend the majority of the time watching students working in pairs, doing activities, or moving around the classroom.  I don't know how watching that would help a student alone at home learn.  I don't lecture all class, I don't just give worksheets.  That is part of why distance learning is so hard.  But I really don't see how a student would learn watching from home.  [/quote]
This is the problem even in elementary schools. I don’t lecture for a whole period. Even if I wanted to, it isn’t developmentally appropriate. I’d get an ineffective on an observation for doing that. You can’t just “watch” learning take place and glean the same. This is the problem with parents who want 5 hours of live instruction a day. I don’t just present for five hours a day. Even adults have a hard time sitting still through a long lecture. Live in reality. [/quote]
