Between your comment and the GP, it's easy to see that any "distance learning" is only a stopgap that we've been forced into, and is not scalable or desirable for any length of time.
I'm not sure. I don't think 100% distance learning "is the future" but it can certainly be improved. With many things becoming remote, there are obstacles AND opportunities.
Whether it is scalable or desirable is debatable. But what, I think is not debatable is there will be a time in the future where self-isolation is required again. The schools need to prepare now for when that happens.
