text: Although online learning would be a very beneficial to students, people who learn at home will lack some communication skills that would be needed later in life. Students in school are forced to interact and learn how to communicate with one another while in school. Students who learn at home do not get the opportunity to see other people on a daily basis and learn things certain skills like how to talk to certain people and when to talk. This skill will be very important later when trying to apply for a job and working with fellow partners. So people who will learn from home will certainly be at a disadvantage when communicating with their co-workings due to the lack of practice. To go along with talking to others, these online learners will not get the same high school experience of that of their peers. From things like pep rallies, high school football games, and dances, online learners will not be able to participate in these things when learning from home. Without this constant lack of communication students get at school, these online learners will also not have the experience to make as many friends. Even though their are many benefits to having online schooling, not being able to associate with people from all walks of life is a major disadvantage to it.
