text: When kids grow up and become adults likely they will have a job or might live by themselves and will need to know how to be independent. If students took some online classes this would force them to problem solve and do research to find the answer when they don't have someone they can ask. At school when kids don't know the answer often they will just ask their friend or the teacher while this occasionally can be good, it doesn't teach them how to find the answer on their own. Depending on your job you may not always have a person there to help you out when you're in a struggle. Most of the work done in college is required to be online nowadays even majority of the textbooks you read are online.
