text: To begin with, without school there is a strong lack of social encounters with others. School can be a fantastic way to make friendships, and learn at the same time. For example, a student could be struggling with the information to know for a test. With the help of another student, they could both learn the material and create a bond of friendship that could last a lifetime. However, if a student were to take online classes or video conferencing they would not step out of their comfort zones to meet other people. Without seeing others everyday, students would start to feel very lonely. Therefore, grades would drop because of the feeling of discouragement in their social lives. When students stay at home and do not see fellow students, their days would become long and tedious.
