text: Within a normal education system students have a few minutes between classes, recess, gym, and time on the bus to talk. This is not the case with distance learning, because there is no way for students to talk unless they go though the hassle of getting each others numbers and texting. While school is supposed to be a place to learn about subjects like math and English, it actually teaches kids how to make and keep friends. This is a lesson that it is very hard for a child to learn only from their family, because those relationships are different than friendships. Without the knowledge of how to build friendships in school kids have a much more difficult time forming relationships in life. By having only online classes, where students can not communicate face to face with each other, they are not learning how to build these important relationships with their peers, which will ultimately effect their adult relationships as well.
