text: Another reason that I think that we don't really benefit is that theres a lack of communication with other people. Having good communication skills is important to have because you might need it for a future job. With taking online or video conferences it sort of helps with that but not fully. It's more beneficial that they go to a public or private school because they are different types of people and you get more experience on the communication. For example, with doing a video conference most likely you'll be talking to the same teacher every day, while going to school somewhere you won't talk to the same one or couple of people.
