This question was on a blog I read:Why should students come to school? What are the things that you think are so essential in the classroom that they can’t be outsourced to a virtual space? (Do they still exist? Will they always exist?) I really want to know.Here was my response:Wow! Great question! I’ve been thinking about it for days now and I think I can finally answer, so here it goes.Ok, so someone said that the teacher wouldn’t be able to discipline kids, but if the classes were online there wouldn’t be any discipline problems right? I do agree that working online with people you wouldn’t really get to meet them or get to know their personality. Online, someone can act completely different than they act in real life. Of course someone can fake their personality at school too, but eventually their true colors will shine through.An advantage to working online would be that more advanced students in the class wouldn’t always be held up from the less advanced ones. For intance, I am a very advanced math student, but some of the kids in my class don’t understand the math so I am left sitting there board all class while the teacher goes over something I already understand. This problem would not be present with an online class.A disadvantage to online classes is if a teacher puts an assignment online and kids don’t understand it, they will all have questions on it. So they will fire emails at the teacher and then he won’t have the time to answer all them so the kids will ask their friends and they end up getting incorrect information and do the assignment wrong.Well, that is an eighth grader’s point of view on the subject, I hope it helped you out! -sbug232-Comment on your answer to the same question!

Hey! Check out my awesome voice thread on the person that I want to be!!!!! I hope that you like it!!!!!
John Candy was born on October 31, 1950, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. His birth name was John Franklin Candy. He was married to Rosemary Margaret Hobor from April 27, 1979 until March 4, 1994,the day of his death. He had two children named Jennifer and Christopher Candy.
He was a very successful man. He turned down repeated offers to join “Saturday Night Live” in 1975, but he has appeared in ten movies with “Saturday Night Live” alumni, which is more than any other non-Saturday Night Live actor.
He turned down the role of Louis Tully in Ghost Busters in 1984. The part went to Rick Moranis. John, did however, appear in Ray Parker Junior’s music video “Ghost Busters,” celebrating the soundtrack of the film, along with other individuals who either refused to be in, or failed to make the final cut, for casting of the film Ghost Busters.
According to Catherine O’Hara, just before going to Mexico, Candy talked to her on the phone and told her that he feared going to Mexico because he felt that “something bad is going to happen there.” He died on March 4, 1994, in Durango, Mexico the same way his father, Sidney,did; of a heart attack. He died while filming Wagons East. So I guess that the feeling he had about something bad happening was right!
He was pictured on one of four 51¢ Canadian commemorative postage stamps honoring “Canadians in Hollywood”, issued on May 22, 2006. He was considered by many to be one of the most genuinely nice people in Hollywood/show business.
I will leave you with a quote that he once made before he passed away:
“I think I may have become an actor to hide from myself. You can escape into a character.”
