    This research paper argues that students should return to in-person schooling due to increases in mental health issues, equity gaps, and decreases in learning abilities caused by the pandemic and virtual learning. It provides evidence that virtual learning has led to more depression, isolation, stress and suicide among students. It also discusses how the shift to online learning has exacerbated equity gaps by disadvantaging students from low-income families or those without reliable technology access. Finally, it notes that virtual learning is a new style that many students have struggled with, as shown through changed grading policies, and that improvements are still needed to support student learning outside of online formats.
