text: There is also a problem with the way of learning that online classes mandate. By looking at a screen and reading or watching videos, students aren't as engaged as they would be if they had a class discussion or socratic seminar. Students learn not only by teachers, but also by sharing ideas with each other and building upon what their peers say. One of the best ways of learning is through communication and sharing ideas. I specifically love learning this way as it is what a real world setting would look like. A group of minds that either agree or disagree on a topic all coming together to rationalize and create one centeralized idea. The kind of learning where all a teacher has to do is stir our minds so that we may learn on our own. A computer can't do that, all it can do is collect information, not create. We do not learn from computers, all we do is relay the information that is given to us, that isn't learning, it's just memory. Online classes do nothing but exchange the experience of learning and coming to school for the comfort of staying home.
