Is situation B a reality? I don't know? If it is it makes no sense, especially relative to situation A. I spent over three decades as a teacher, coach, and administrator and retired just prior to covid. I had and still have many friends in the classroom and I've not talked to one that said "virtual learning" was anywhere near a substitute for being in the classroom. In my opinion any type of online academy should not substitute for the classroom especially relative to the situation Armchair presented where there is actually an advantage to doing it. I guess there are situations where online instruction is warranted such as physical, psychological, and emotional reasons which make it the best alternative but definitely not athletics,. If you can make it to practice you can make it to school. As an athlete you are a member of the team which consists of the whole community, so be a part of it. That's just my old school opinion.
