The other side of the argument is that online classes have horrible engagement. Orders of magnitude worse than a normal class.

Virtual meetings also induce more fatigue in the participants than normal meetings (researched).

One or two off weeks can derail a whole semester. And professors themselves seem lost in absence of live feedback.

The schedules for live classes are rigid. While at college it is easy to follow them as you're in the same place, but schedules of individual homes vary widely and many students don't have the means to change them to suit the class timings.
