CAN DISTANCE LEARNING 
REPLACE TRADITIONAL CLASSES
• Can Distance Learning Replace Traditional Classes? Let’s 
see
• With Covid-19, several various alternatives have had to be 
placed in place in these trying times to protect human 
beings from the deadly virus. One of these security steps 
has been to substitute distance / online learning for 
traditional classes. Many of us are contemplating the 
problem now; after the pandemic is over, with conventional 
classes, we can proceed with distance learning, or return to 
normal life. I believe that traditional classes are very 
important and that, instead of distance learning, they 
should be retained because they encourage social 
interaction, teach time management, allow a wider range of 
classes and make experimental learning more interesting.
Social Contact
• Traditional classes are of the utmost importance, 
to begin with, as they facilitate social contact, a 
crucial factor even after school in most 
occupations. This is critical because most 
professions require contact from day to day, such 
as a nurse, teacher, or lawyer. Another reason 
this is important is that students can learn how to 
function as a team early on, another important 
characteristic of most careers, such as IT or 
president. There would be no social contact and 
minimum teamwork in online learning, as you are 
unable to speak or work with the person 
physically.
Time Management
• Next, there is no time management in day-to-day 
life in online classes, while in conventional 
classes, students must be punctual and arrive on 
time every day. This requires a lot of planning, 
both the night before and in the morning. 
However, an online class does not take more than 
5 minutes to plan. There is no commute, and only 
a laptop is required. This can be very damaging 
to the child in the future as they may never be 
punctual and, in most situations, will be 
unprepared.
Extra-Curricular 
Activities
• Going forward, conventional classes make it possible to teach a broader 
range of classes, including extracurricular activities. For instance, if a 
student wants to take a major in art or pursue a dance career, they must 
practice in person so that their instructor can correct or perform an 
example of their error. In online learning, as the teacher does not correct 
the student, there is no way that these courses can be taught at the 
same level.
• Finally, with hands-on activities, conventional classes are capable of 
making learning interesting. For example, you will not be able to conduct 
any experiments online in science class. This is because you do not have 
the materials or you are unable to follow the instructions. Whereas in 
conventional schooling, you can conduct several experiments in science 
class. This is because you are supplied with the materials and supervised 
by an instructor. Another advantage of traditional classes is that you can 
go on field trips. This is not possible in an online class.
Conclusion
• In conclusion, traditional classes are a much 
better form of learning. As they encourage social 
engagement, teach essential life skills such as 
time management. It offers a broader spectrum of 
learning, and make school by offering hands-on 
lessons more interesting. If online classes replace 
conventional classrooms, future generations will 
hold even more of themselves. They will care less 
about the environment. This will happen because 
students will not connect.
