text: Finally attending classes at home keeps a student from developing their identities and learning more about themselves. In life we always struggle to learn new things about ourselves and broaden who we are. Through challenges students face in school and the friends they make better help them understand who they are and develop their identities. Interactions in schools, different friend groups, and learning about the world in classes with others help students shape their identities. Students learn new perspectives from others and get to choose whether to agree or disagree but with online classes we don't have all these opportunities that help students develop their identities and broaden who they are.
