text: The most affected aspect of school when implementing distance learning is the social aspect. Being social in school is important to know how to be around people, talk to people, and make friends. If you are only in school on a video or skype call, you can't do any of those things. While distance learning has minor affects on other aspects of schooling like attentiveness and interactions between students and teachers, it simply destroyed the social aspect of school. While everyone else is in school actually learning, there are people sitting in front of a screen while "learning".
