Why Should Students Come To School?
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!
