text: Schools offering distance learning as an option is not beneficial to students because it is not how the real world is going to be. Some people think that online school is helpful because it is a different style, but they are wrong because it does not teach them what the real world is going to be like. The real world is working with people, asking questions, and working through problems. If kids think that it is normal to isolate themselves from everyone to do mandatory work then they are not going to know how to ask questions when they need help or how to communicate with people when there is a problem. Also, if kids depend on the internet to look up answers to questions they should have learned in school, then they are not going to know what to do in their job.
