text: Finally, students who take online classes will miss out on learning the social skills involved in everyday life. In online classes, there is no interaction between students; it is just a student watching a teacher lecture in a video. Sitting at home removes interactions between students which would have created important social skills, lifelong friendships, and a respect for others. An infamous man from history who grew up in a situation without these three things was Joseph Stalin. As a young boy, Stalin was lonely and never had many friends. It was this loneliness that led him in becoming one of the most feared men in the world. He believed that the correct way to befriend someone was to scare them into it. He believed that when someone disagreed with a word he said, they should be killed. But above all, he believed deep down that this was a bad world and everyone in it hated him. If Stalin had learned simple social skills as a child, he would've been able to solve his problems more diplomatically, instead of relying on the violence he was known for. Social skills, learned by interaction between others in school, are crucial to a human's success in life, and without them, you will be lost with no way out.
