By interacting with not only teachers, but also peers, students are able to learn social skills that enable them to interact with many members of society. Students learn to interact with others, to share and how to make friends. They learn discipline and other skills that are hard to teach elsewhere. The involvement in extra-curricular activities is something that only brings positives to students' lives. Events such as forensics, sporting events, band and organized groups teach the children the importance of working as a team.
Children also learn of many problems or obstacles they have to pass when growing older.
By changing our educational system to virtual classrooms, these extra activities would also be taken away. One of the most important parts of the classroom is the teacher. When a student learns in a traditional classroom, the teacher is at the student's side to answer any questions. This is an area that would be lacking in a virtual classroom. Teachers run the daily schedule by preparing for the day's lessons.
