text: Attending classes from home deprives kids of acquiring specific social skills needed to adapt in the adult world. Typically, when you get your first job it is in some sort of office or workplace that requires you to deal with co-workers, bosses, and customers. Furthermore, when a student is used to working at home through "distance learning", they do not have the same social skills as those who actually went to school. For example, if a child who attended classes from home were to get a job that required teamwork, it would be difficult for the child to connect with others on the job. Another issue that could be presented is if there were a job that required employees to interact and connect with customers. Those who attended classes from home would be lacking in this skill of connecting with customers, which could harm their ability to do their job to the fullest.
