text: In how many instances do you get the chance to lead someone or a group of people through an online course? None really because all you are able to do is take directions from a teacher to do assignments, so there aren't really oppurtunities to express your opinion on how to do something. Opportunities to express your ideas to others are not given through this way of education. Not all people are meant to be leaders, but if the student has the potiental to be then he/she wouldn't have the opportunity to develop this important skill in life. People need leaders in this world for many things such as the President of the United States which is a very important person in our lives affecting how things run in our society. The President of the United States did not learn this skill through a simple online class on leadership, he developed this skill through experiences in life and schooling with other people. Taking online classes can not provide this development of skill for our future generations who will be leading and living in this country in the near future.
