text: Being at home can take away the educational atmosphere that the student could be in the future. There are students that can graduated from being home schooled, but they would not get the same atmosphere like students who go to public school. The main goal of school is to help a student gain the knowledge they need to be on their own. Another goal for school, is to have the student know what it will feel like, if they go to a college or a work environment. For instance, a student that graduated from a public school would already have the knowledge of the educational atmosphere when they go to the campus. That student will be comfortable with other people around him and know what to expect from their professors. They will know that they would need to speak up in class discussions, work in a team, and have confidence in their opinions. Now that the student experienced that kind of atmosphere, they will know what to do. Video conferences or learning online may be useful in some ways, there are some situations that can go wrong. The student could have technical difficulties, if the website cannot load or if on a conference call, there could be trouble with the connection and not working. This supports that when a student is at school they are more able to get there full experience and atmosphere when they are at school.
