My children’s school Rebbie’s did opt to use Zoom and the kids gained immeasurably. My sisters children school did not. They opted for phone teleconferencing instead for basically the same reason the author offered. Her children were not well served. I think if the din is that we don’t disturb children from their Torah learning even if the Bet Hamikdash needs the Rebbi’s skills, he is not allowed to leave the classroom. So, I reason, if the children’s learning is so important, then the best contingency plan have to be put forth. On line is far superior to teleconferencing. Schools must be challenged by the parents and they must do the on line option. It’s a no-brainer. It’s the Torah learning of the children that brought about the miracle of Purim and it’s their Torah learning that has to be maximized now too. Edited
