text: Not only do traditional classes keep distractions to a minimum, they also provide multiple ways of learning material. Students are unique in how they learn, some requiring hands-on experiments while others prefer reading and lectures. Online learning oftentimes is unable to accommodate those unique patterns. From personal experience, hands-on learning is often kept to a minimum, and video-conferencing is limited as connections suffer difficulties resulting in poor audio quality. Students are left to fend for themselves in this scenario because their needs cannot be provided for. If students' needs aren't met, the material is wasted on them as it won't "click" in their heads. No learning is being done, so students are not benefiting like they would in an environment designed to meet their learning needs. Students who otherwise wouldn't be at school due to a preexisting condition could continue to learn and avoid missing "instruction" time, but they aren't really learning much either if there is no way to accommodate them like in a physical classroom.
