Although remote learning is a solution to many current educational issues, it still presents certain challenges and drawbacks, such as the ten listed below.

1. Not all students have equal access to the necessary technology since a computer is usually needed. Remote learning requires constant and sometimes high-speed internet access, which is not available in all areas.
2. Virtual learning increases and highlights socio-economic disparities because not every student or family can afford this necessary technology.
3. Remote learning lacks the type of immediate teacher feedback that occurs in a physical classroom.
4. Collaboration and group projects are more difficult.
5. There are often more opportunities to become distracted in a home environment than in a classroom.
6. It is more difficult for educators to measure student engagement when they are not physically present.
7. There are concerns that spending too much time in front of a computer screen has negative effects.
8. Boredom becomes an issue. In traditional classrooms, there are more opportunities to implement engaging lessons. However, remote learning tends to be rather monotonous.
9. There is a lack of practical and hands-on lessons when it comes to remote learning. For instance, the type of learning that comes with science labs is hard to replicate.
10. In addition to academics, there is a large social aspect of attending school. This is lost in a remote learning setting.
