home, it may seem like society is now gearing up for learning from home without having to be
physically present in class. Having a formal education from home entails several issues that may
potentially be problematic for the institution and the individual. Therefore, this paper will contest

While learning for the sake of gaining knowledge can be conducted anywhere, formal

himself not only academically, but socially as well. A classroom setting will set the right tone and
mood for learning even if the teacher conducts an outdoor lesson, as it isvital to have a student
teacher relationship with each other. An active learning ensures that the learner is able to
