the pros: -it helps the environment -you dont have to waste time to get ready -you can work at your own pace
the cons: -since you dont have a teacher to remind you and make you do your homework you'll probably put it off. -you can have the tentation to go on the internet to checkyour email or myspace etc -you also dont have the resources you usually have in school like a library or a text book etc. -also,you wont practice having face to face conversations with others & you also would have as many friends cause face it most of your friends are the ones you meet during school or during school activites -also you have no one there to ask questions to if you're stuck on something

i think going to school online would be a bad thing because you can forge answers from the internet

one good thing is that the info is a lot more accurate. the bad thing is that you are using more technology and that means that you can get addicted to it or you get more isolated from the rest world.

pros- easier to get notes, u don't have to waste the time copying down the notes when you can copy and paste it saving more time so that you can study....or do more fun things. also...you wouldn't have to worry about dressing nice for when you go to school to impress anyone, you can be in your pjs and no one would know, or even care. also you could do other things like answer the phone or text without worrying about getting caught or having the teacher think that you are rude. cons- it would be harder to understand because you aren't there to really visualize and listen where it would be harder to zone out, also you can't see what the teacher is doing to show you an answer if it was an online math class. plus a student might do other things where they multitask and not pay as much as attention as they should where they can learn better

A pro would be that we wouldnt have to get into trouble as easily in the halls or even at all. A con would be that you would lose your person-to-person conversation skills.Another pro would be that we wouldnt have to be as distracted by other things in your classroom. Another con would be that we would get lazy and not as active as we would be if we were doing in a real school.

we could lose eye contact with the people we talk to the most and we would learn very diffrently unstead of people telling us what we have to do we would just do what ever it says to do on the computer i cant really think of any cons though

pros: don't have to travel; in your own place; less people to distract
cons: no face-to-face communication, which means nobody telling you if you're correct or not; some factory errors with your computer.

Some of the Pro's of being online school would be that you don't have get up so early and have to get drived to school instead you get up at any time of the day and you get more freedom. Some con's are the you don't use face to face communacation with the teacher or a class mate. You arn't healthy because you don't walk to your next period and you don't have P.E..

some good things that online school has is that people may think of it as more fun because they get to get on when ever they want to. also some good things that online school has is that people can listen to music on thier computer. some bad things about online school is that if someone is confused they will never get to explain themselves very well.

It would be possible to set up a web cam (a camera that attaches to your computer,) and send your image to everyone else. In a way, this might provide less distractions, since the teacher could at any time single you out, and see if you are doing anything you aren't supposed to be doing. And by the way, some people learn better when there isn't any personal contact.
