text: The first reason why physically attending school benefits students more is because it allows students to ask more specific questions. For example if a student didn't understand how to do one specific thing in their math class, they could go up to their teacher and be physically shown how to do the thing they didn't understand. Being able to ask questions about specific things and have them shown to you would be a lot more helpful and benefit people who actually want to learn, rather than having it explained verbally through a Skype call.
