text: Students can learn at their own pace when they attend classes from home, compared to public schools, which force students to learn at a certain pace for a standardized test. Homeschooling would benefit students, who have learning disabilities or suffer from physical ailments/diseases, such as cancer or cerebral palsy. It also gives students the opportunity to learn more by accessing the vast quantity of information found on the Internet, and learn essential life skills, like buying a mortgage or paying taxes. However, some would argue that public schools teach students how to socially interact with people in the outside world and how to effectively deal with pressure/stress and disappointments, while attending online classes from home does not properly teach these important life skills. These concerns are valid due to the importance of having social skills in life, but students can learn these skills through experience; for example, they can learn by going out with their friends or relatives.
