Also, as someone who is doing online instruction for grad students, it absolutely is a form of learning. It’s imperfect and suboptimal compared to in-person instruction, but it’s still teaching. Jeff’s point about online learning has more validity for younglings.

The frustrating thing for everyone involved is that online anything is, on the whole, just less efficient. Which means folks like my wife and I are working harder and nonetheless providing a less-than-ideal service. Still, contra Jeff, it’s better than nothing.

See below the source for Jeff’s frustration, which I get. Anything remote is much less effective with young children. Just know that it’s equally personal and frustrating for service providers.
