text: A key part of school is the importance of interacting and working with other students, making friends, and facing social challenges. In a classroom kids have to learn to work with others; often times for a project or classwork. Discovering the trait of working in a team or with others is something that people use in their everyday lives. Whether you're on a sports team, in a play, or working as an adult, you need to be able to work with others in order to achieve a common goal. Distance learning destroys social interactions and forces kids to rely only on themselves. Another great aspect of school is making new friends and facing social challenges. True friendship is one of the best feelings ever because they can have such a tremendous impact on your life and open your eyes to new things. Also, facing social challenges are crucial for maturation and set us up for success in the future. Social challenges include, but are not limited to: overcoming the fear of asking a girl on a date, facing mean people and things, and how to handle betrayal, rejection, and apologizing. All of these qualities of social interactions are very important for us to grow because all of these things are in our lives as adults. If you do not learn from an early age how to face and overcome these challenges, then you will be a miserable person for the rest of your life. Distance learning shatters all hopes of social interactions which harms kids in the future.
