In the following essay, I will provide arguments and examples to support my view. One of the main advantages of formal

is the ability to learn from other students. When students sit in the classroom, debating on a specific question, like the Israeli Palestinian conflict or the UK's desire to leave the European Union, they learn new thoughts and ideas not only from their teacher, but
also

from their classmates.
As a result

, students who attend school are exposed to substantially more opinions and ideas than students who study at home. Another argument in favour my opinion, is that
distance

learning prevents students from asking questions during class. When a physics student,
for example

, is unable to ask the teacher about a formula during class, he might be unable to fully understand the lecture. As a consequence, the student might not know the required material, which can
