My experiences in more recent years are definitely better than my online classes years before. Colleges are investing heavy in online education.

Quote:Question though do the poorer schools have access to the technology so that teachers and students can actually interact with each other in some meaningful way? Because if they are just getting on a computer and doing assignments that anyone could do for them I don't think this is going to help anyone and only hurt these kids education further.

Definitely an issue. The pandemic has exposed how underfunded so many crucial institutions are. Education and healthcare. This is why it's counterproductive to threaten to withhold funding. Schools were hurting before, and they're hurting even more now.
