text: When examining human history, one can note that societies have underwent change, but is all change necessarily progress? Obviously, this question is determined by whether or not the change is beneficial. Currently, schools are tackled with answering this question. While most schools teach their students by a classroom environment, some have decided to take a novel approach. These schools have transferred the teaching environment to the internet where subjects taught to by video conferencing. This, I argue, is a change for the worst. Most glaringly, this method changes the entire classroom setting to one that seems more out of reach and less interactive. It's also important to consider that schools teach more than just subjects; rather, schools enhance student's lives by introducing them to a diversity of people, both other students and teachers. Outside of class, students can learn from their peers or perhaps befriend them to form long-lasting friendships. This simply doesnt work, at least not as effectively, with a digital simulation. Lots of these important factors are lost with online schooling. Schools should reconsider the idea of video conferencing as beneficial because the environment it create damages learning, and the loss of a social atmosphere hurts students' future.
