text: Many could argue that distance learning has more disadvantages than advantages. A disadvantage could be taking away a student's ability to form relationships with others. Online school could potentially cut off a child's access to the outside world, making them feel somewhat trapped. Students could also miss out on opportunities and scholarships if they were to not attend school facilities anymore. Another concern is that students would be most likely to slack off when they learn at home because they're more prone to take advantage of their familiar settings. However, a child has numerous opportunities to get involved in activities outside home to create friendships and bonds. Taking part in clubs or sports, children could find themselves feeling satisfied with their connections to the outside world. Distance learning doesn't eliminate communication with others in general, it just gives them less of an opportunity. Students also have options to earn scholarships if they were to prove academic excellence or excellence in sports regardless of distance learning. It's a fair possibility children could take advantage of online schooling when they are placed in familiar settings but it could also benefit their performance and skill levels.
