text: finally, taking classes online does not build character because it doesn't expose students to the real world; however, school on the other hand, exposes a student to many real life situations that sets students to graduating and going out in the real world. My family and I have noticed the difference in my brothers character when he used to take online classes at home compared to going to school. My brother was not confident and did not have much common sense since he was home all day; however, since he started going to school he has became more confident and has more common sense. By going to school, I personally have learned many life skills that build my character. This is why taking online classes isn't beneficial because it doesn't build a students character.
