text: As prompted, in online school, the assumption is that these students complete their tasks in a manner mostly by themselves as their study hours and subjects are catered to each and every specific student. However, again on the pretense of these students then having a flexible time frame as they can pace themselves, this also appears to be a stress-free schedule. However this does take away a lot more than it shows. It takes away social skills. Social skills that include team work, making new friends, creating personal connections with teachers, etc. These social skills are needed for adulthood, in an job environment, where it is required for interaction, for teamwork, and for the ability to communicate with an executive or a boss. With these students not being in person with one another and their own teachers, they would have no slight intonation on how to interact, but also in the right manner. Being physically present at school, enables these social characteristics and skills for each students, but with an online school, where every student is mostly at home trying to get their work done, by themselves, it does not enable those social skills, it demolishes it.
