I suppose you are right about most social etiquette. What about group dynamic though? Teamwork, things like that? You can still work in teams in a virtual setting but it's not the same as being next to the person and bouncing ideas around. In fact, it's vastly different imo.

Can't argue with that, and upon reflection the benefits I espoused earlier about virtual communities have their obvious counterpoint in the insane levels of abuse that kids cop from one another while gaming online. That said, I think a lot of the things the physical classroom does better nowadays can't be precluded from the virtual classrooms of 2025.
