text: Some people may say that taking online classes is overall, not beneficial to students because it isolates them from other people their age and doesn't allow them to have the best education possible. However, this is not true because taking online classes isn't an attempt to isolate oneself, but is done because it is what's best for that person. Just because someone takes classes from home doesn't mean they don't have friends or a social life. There are other opportunities and places to make friends so that shouldn't be the ultimate factor for someone deciding if they should switch over to online classes or not. The argument that online school doesn't provide the best education isn't valid because some of the most successful people in the world have completed online classes and have publicly credited them to be a great way to learn. The programs that these classes are provided by make sure that the classes are well taught and teach everything that the student needs to know. People who take online classes are learning the same things that someone in a regular classroom is learning; the difference is the setting in which they are learning the content in.
