text: Meanwhile, giving students the ability to do things from home would be great, but they would be lacking in human skills. By doing everything online at home sets a wall between the teacher and student. They wouldnt know life skills because you and to learn all of that in school by learning from your mistakes. Distance learning is the same as a child being home-schooled by their parents, they would only really know how to act with them and the moment they get sent out into the real world they don't know how to interact with anyone. We need human contact with each other in order to be sane. They need to learn how to trust someone and build relationships that would last a life time and they wouldn't be able to do that in their own homes.
