Question

I'm doing an essay on whether brick and mortar school or online school is better for high school students, but I seriously can't decide. I have gone to both, and I think public school is much better. I feel biased though because online school is great, IF you have a faster pace or slower pace than others in public school and if you have motivation/not lazy (unlike me). My brain is scattering all over the place.

Answer 1

i think i might go with online school is better than brick and mortar school just because it would be easier to write an essay on

Answer 2

wait i might go with what I originally stand for, there's just so many disadvantages to online school

Answer 3

I agree. From what we see on Jiskha, many on line classes use poor materials and have irrelevant tests. Also -- most students need the immediate feed back of teachers and other students. Of course the cheating is a disgrace!

Answer 4

right! i agree with you

Answer 5

you'd still be able to cheat in real school, however you'd have to come up with a very creative strategy to not get caught

Answer 6

I already have 2/3 reasons down, better learning strategies and more social opportunities. Hmmm...

Answer 7

If you are standing for brick and mortar school, a third reason you may say is that instructors can gauge or measure students progress better.

Answer 8

That's exactly what I was thinking, didn't know how to word it though.thank you!

Answer 9

No Problem! :)

Answer 10

Well, I say online school is better because you don't have as many distractions as you normally would if you went to a brick and mortar school. In a brick and mortar school, you have class clowns, teachers not really explaining why you got a question wrong, or you have those annoying people bugging the crap out of you, then there's bullies....., you get my point.
