text: Furthermore, taking online classes can cause lack of socialization with others as well. Having the luxury to be able to work with others is something that students who work from home cannot experience. Working with other students allows everyone to voice their opinions or ideas and then combine them all into one to create something amazing in the end. This can also get assignments done quicker; hence the quote, "two minds are greater than one". On the other hand, working alone in the comfort of ones own home does avoid distractions from other students and events; however, experiencing distractions teaches the student how to work in stressful situations for the real world. It may also accentuate the fact that one cannot escape distractions, as someone will find them anywhere they go. Lack of socialization can also result in the student feeling lonely. Staying in the house all day and not being able to leave until they complete all their work can make the student feel isolated or sad. Being stuck indoors while doing work for long periods at a time can negatively affect a students' overall emotional health, which is why taking classes online wouldn't benefit students long-term.
