text: Second, students learning from home do not make the same social advancements as someone going to school. Students that go to school every day are exposed to people all day. They must make relationships, talk to people, and work with people to survive in the environment. At home, this is not the case at all. A student learning online from his home does not need to talk to people constantly, nor does the student need to work with others all day. This causes a lack of social skill in the student. In a workplace, social skills are important, and students learning online may not have those skills so they will be fired or not even hired in the first place.
