text: A conference over the phone or a webcam and online education can be very tricky. Phones and computers don't always work. At times they can stop working and shut down. If that happens then you won't be able to learn at all. On the other hand, going to an actual school and learning is way easier than that. All it requires is a chalkboard or a white board and a marker and your good to go. Teachers don't have to rely on a computer or phone when their teaching in a classroom. In some cases teachers will you use a computer to show a video or a program for students to learn from. but that doesn't mean they have to stop teaching at that point. Meanwhile, if a student is at home learning or on a conference with a teacher and your phone and computer stops working then you have no other choice then to stop working. It could happen once and have a student miss out on a lot of education. Online education or a video conference isn't a reliable way of learning. However, a student can always rely on going to school and having a teacher ready and prepared to teach.
