text: Some may say that distance learning has nothing to do with improving ones social skills, they are mistaken. These individuals are wrong because when a student is being home schooled, they don't have the same experience socializing with others as someone who goes to a public school, therefor also not gaining as much skills as someone who isn't home schooled. Others might also say that getting educated at home has nothing to do with interacting with others, they are incorrect. These people are wrong because when students are home schooled, they don't get that many opportunities to interact with others and end up not knowing how to act around others.
