Many fields of science are best learned through in person interaction and physical contact with materials. This may even extend to math, as the inequity in technology may inhibit communication, which is critical to understanding math.

Teachers don't have the same resources available to teach students when they are forced to do it online; whiteboards aren't as useful or practical, small groups are more difficult to moderate in addition to being sometimes buggy and getting live responses from students is made much more difficult  in a virtual space, both by the lag that is inherent to online learning and the awkwardness of unmuting in front of an entirely silent class

Most of these resources that can't currently be used were optionally anyways, seeing as how many of the resources being used now were ones used in the classroom; if these presently used resources like Kahoot or Google Forms were viable in the classroom, they can serve their functions in a virtual environment as well.

We live in a time where communicating with others is easier than ever, even if it is not in person. With all of the available means of communication such as texting, using social media, or calling, there are more ways to communicate when you're not at school.

At school kids have dedicated time that is only meant for them to learn with minimal distractions as well as interference, when making them work at home there are obstacles such as family and household responsibilities that cannot be ignored at that point. So it seems wrong to make them follow through as if they are in school and are going to have the same amount of concentration and dedication. The right thing to do would be to change the way school runs and adapt.

The setting within a school minimizes distractions, maximizes engagement, allows students to feel pressured to answer questions yet comfortable doing so, and is therefore more conducive to productive education than remote learning.

Remote learning is not good for students' social-emotional health as they cannot interact with friends. Humans are naturally social beings, and remote learning hinders social interaction unless it is school-related.

When school is remote, it gives teachers an excuse to just talk at you for 100 minutes. Its awkward for the teacher just to sit there so they need to make more awkward small talk. Teachers also tend to do more lectures because its easier than monitoring breakout rooms and doing more engaging things.

Human being aren't made to stare at computer screens for 6+ hours per day (developmentally inappropriate) nor are most willing to. School, in itself, is a wonderful way for children to interact with others and be social inside and outside of the classroom. With remote learning, we remove the social interaction which automatically exhausts children and then give them hours of homework as well. It should be expected that children (and teachers!) will burn out.

Staring at a computer screen for seven hours a day is scientifically proven to be detrimental to mental and physical health, as the constant stream of blue light interferes with natural processes in the brain. In addition, sitting in place for seven hours under any circumstance is incredibly difficult, especially for kids and teenagers that need physical outlets for energy. With recordings of lessons being posted to classroom, procrastination will likely increase, as will general apathy for the lessons, which will lead to lower scores and participation.
