Spike - there are a number of intangibles that same site work offers that remote work does not. To some extent, your issues are probably measurable in terms of your mental health. Problems with the tech, likewise. The harder things to measure are the sense of community that comes with same site work. The camaraderie and social interaction it cultivates create bonds that a zoom conference just can't. Those human contact level interactions just cannot and will not happen with remote work. And I can't count the number of times someone came up with a really good idea during a "water-cooler" conversation or dropping by a colleague's office for coffee and a short chat.
For years and years I was VERY vocally opposed to on-line courses at the University level. Sadly, I suspect I lost friends over it. I never taught anywhere else, but I can only imagine that at the primary and secondary levels it's worse by orders of magnitude. The last year saw my worst concerns realized. Remote work is going to be big for a while. I can only hope we learn how to temper it sooner rather than later.
