text: In today's newer generations many children and teenagers struggle to grasp the concept of communication. Technology plays a significant role in everyones lives, however, many teenagers are trapped within their phones not being able to experience the real world which impedes them from learning basic oral skills. If schools supply students with the option to take classes from home via online or video conferencing this will further ruin any chance of them ever learning to speak for themselves. School is a collaborative environment that allows students to have a safe space to speak freely and ask questions on subjects they are unsure of, as well as allowing them to socialize and interact with their peers giving them the opportunity to meet new people. Students should not be given the choice whether or not to socialize with other peers they should be given the choice to choose what courses they would like to take; School was made for students to learn and grow in a collaborative work environment where they are taught to challenge and interpret knowledge of everyday life, one cannot achieve that level through a computer screen.
