Some argue that schools are no longer necessary because children learn so much from the internet and can be educated at home. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent times, many new mediums have been evolved by which children are being taught. Many believe that a huge variety of information is widely available over the internet, at less cost,

thus

sending them to schools is not a necessity anymore. While it is acceptable by certain people, I strongly disagree with it, as schools impart essential social skills

as empathy as well as soft skills, namely effective communication. The schools create a platform with which students learn many vital social attributes. The most prominent one being considerate towards others.

Furthermore

, another pivotal nature which is absolutely required is good interpersonal skills. More and more people are crossing geographies to secure good employment, unless and until they have strong communication, it will be difficult for them.

Thus

, had there not been any educational institutions, many would have not mastered the soft skills. To conclude,

although

many assert that websites provide a large volume of study materials so that having learned by attending educational institutions are not required.

However

, I completely oppose

this

notion because schools not only inculcate the nature to understand others, but they

also

make children have a proficiency in the language, which paves a way for bright and fruitful future for the young generation.
