text: One reason schools should not be offering distant learning is that it could cause students to have poor communication skills. Not attending a school could cause students to not know how to properly talk with other. For example students that spend most of their time at home due to online schooling would not be able to learn how to act with others their own age or with authority figures. Attending schools would also allow students to be around children their own age and allow them to make friends. Distance learning would also cause problems by not allowing students to interact with others outside of the people they already know making it difficult for them to meet new people.
