Group teaching for language learning is essential, even more for kids. It’s really important to be in a context where you have to interact with other humans. There is a reason anyone serious and with the means will pay good money to go to language courses IRL to progress, instead of relying on video calls. And the last thing kids need is even less human contact during their education
I'm saying complementary, not replacement. Like at-home homework being a private tutor instead.
