This is a strawman, as no one made such a claim.
It's also irrelevant to the reasoning behind switching to remote learning, which was to lower mass deaths.
If, in some bizarre alternate scenario, in-school learning was never paused, teachers would be dead, sick or refuse to work anyways, which would have obviously compromised kids' learning progress too.
And schools had plummeting attendance pre-pause. Parents overwhelmingly wanted remote schools, for a time. Death is a much greater worry than potentially compromised learning.
