TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Online Schools Are Bad

Dear Editor,

When students join Online Schools, students miss out on student discussions and student interactions. Students will not be able to share ideas with other students or be able to meet teachers and get one on one help.

Elective Courses on the Online Schools would not work very well because these are more hands on classes. Classes such as P.E. or Woods would be almost impossible to do online. Classes such as drafting would not allow students to help each other on projects and students would not be able to work on team projects. This would also cause students to lack social skills needed for college and for the future work place.

Online Courses are a bad idea for schools to promote. If students choose to attend Online Courses, they will miss out on class participation and key social skills that they will need in the future.
