In the US, virtual teachers are emerging as a solution to address teacher shortages in critical subjects at schools facing staffing challenges. As the pandemic exacerbated the departure of hundreds of thousands of teachers from the education sector, schools turned to virtual instructors to fill gaps in subjects like physics. While concerns about the impact on students’ learning experience persist, advocates argue that virtual teachers are a pragmatic response to a growing problem. This model, although seen as a temporary measure, raises questions about the long-term implications for the teaching profession and the potential perpetuation of systemic issues.
