As I was helping my children complete their Google-based assignments, I became more and more frustrated. The e-books and the online learning games and video tutorials were bombarding their heads with facts and their eyes with images, but nothing was shaping them holistically. Their experience was merely a series of actions that lacked the organic, human sensitivity to this particular child and this particular subject at this particular moment. It was a collection of digitized, electronic, emotionless tasks, not a means of shaping my children into better people. This virtual learning neglected virtue development — the most important part of education. And I suspect that their teachers were equally frustrated with the limits and limitations of remote education.
