text: Going to school helps students make friends. School is the number 1 place where most children and teens make friends and meet people and if they taking the classes online, they dont get the chance to experience that. If a kid doesnt have very much social interaction then they become very anti social and not have a whole lot of people skills. Staying at home and taking classes online has its benefits but actually putting in the effort to wake up and come to school everyday and meeting new friends is worth coming to school for. If a student stays home and takes an online class they really dont have anyone to ask for help if they dont understand a topic.
