Pros and cons of online schoolsIt mostly depends on your personality. There are those who believe online school is the future. Pros:

If you are someone who is shy/quiet and just laid back, then it's probably for you. If you, like me, are trying to pursue other things and want to work on your own pace, then it's for you. But if you get bored easily, if you are an active, outgoing, social person, stick to regular school. It definitely helps because you can go on your own pace, some are assigned a mentor, still have interactions with classmates and teachers, you can do school at any time, meaning you can wake up late, you can save a test/quiz and go back to it when you think you're more ready to take it, etc. It's a lot less pressure, but it still prepares you for the future in many different ways. Always be open to try something new.

Other thoughts:

  • You can bend the schedule around your free time
  • Take breaks whenever you want
  • Not have to worry about falling behind, as you can just review the lessons
  • You can take how ever long you want on a day
  • School can be anywhere with wifi
  • Less time-wasting
Cons:

However, you may get distracted very easily, and it might be more tempting to quit school. Your computer might break down. You also have no physical location to go to for help.

Interacting with other human beings is part of education, and that is lacking in an online school.

Other thoughts:

  • Less socialization; no social events, like prom
  • Graduation isn't as fun since you don't know your classmates
  • The only way to ask for homework help is through email, phone, and research
