I don't know.  One major concern is teaching phonics, for which it's important for students to see teachers' mouths in real time during the lesson.  If you know of solutions from other countries, you should post them here.  [/quote]

My child has an IEP that includes speech. His big issues (now) revolve around articulation. I thought that his school’s K distance learning was an absolute useless joke; however, I was thoroughly impressed with his virtual speech lessons. His teacher was excellent at conducting the lessons over Zoom/Teams and he was readily able to mimic her speech examples. He also enjoyed the phonic games/activities they played. So long story short, I think distance learning for things like phonics/speech can actually work extremely well, though the big caveat is this was one on one. I’m not sure to what extent it would be effective in a virtual class setting where it’s easier for kids to be distracted.[/quote]
