We do read together a lot and complete math work books and flash cards but I strongly believe the majority of his academic gains the last 5 months from the online Sylvan courses, granted they are in smaller groups than he’d receive from remote elementary. My point is you CAN teach a 7 year old over a computer, but it takes intentional focus from schools and parents working in unison to pull off.

Exactly...highly impractical.....for every 1 child that does well with it how many don't?
And you don't know what he isn't learning by not being around children his age as well. But I get what you are saying.
