Online learning platforms have exploded in popularity, but I'm skeptical they can replace the classroom experience for most students. I've taken a few MOOCs and watched my cousins struggle with remote high school during lockdowns—the lack of face-to-face interaction and accountability really shows. Even with interactive tools, keeping motivation and focus is harder when you're just staring at a screen alone. While online courses offer flexibility and access, I doubt they match the depth of learning and social development that in-person classes provide.
