2. Studying online has three drawbacks. Firstly, studying online causes the lack of interaction between students and teachers. Learning through the screen makes students feel bored, they cannot connect directly with their teachers and friends like when before lockdown. Although the lecture is important and helpful but without interaction, it will become ineffectual. Secondly, another disadvantage of studying online is that students easily lack concentration. When they use laptops or mobile phones to attend the online class, they also can get access to media networking sites such as Facebook, Instagram, and so on which make them difficult to pay attention to listening to the teacher. Finally, studying online can affect health. Excessive exposure to electronic devices (containing blue light, UV rays) may cause eye defects and impact on nerves. Currently, the number of people, especially the children with myopia, is increasing rapidly and that leaves great consequences later. Moreover, sitting for a long time without moving the position will affect the spine. In conclusion, studying online’s disadvantages need to be limited by the individual’s consciousness and effort.

At school or in traditional class system students learn how to make friends, how to behave with teacher and friends, how to get rid of disappointment etc. The main work of personality development of students can be done through traditional classes. In online classes these all are missing. Online learning cannot offer face to face human interaction which are very important for personality development.

It also requires more interventions of parents in case of small children. In online classes student use electronic devices like mobile, tablet, laptops or computer. Use of these devices for longer time will badly affect the health of students.
