Are online classes better for students than classes at school? Students from Memphis ,TN must learn online to graduate. City schools there offer online classes for credit to high school and middle school. But is this really better than being in a regular school?
Some of the positives of online classes are you can take courses to graduate early. It is less expensive to offer online courses, you do not have building expenses. You can serve 150 in 12 schools rather than 30 in one class. Students can do all course work and exams at home.
If you are considering furthering your education but are not sure that you have the time to do so, consider online masters degree programs. These programs allow you to gain a degree without interfering with your job or your hectic schedule. They not only provide you with a degree but they give you numerous skills that will help you advance in your career. A masters degree can make you have the potential to make more money in your field.
Negatives of online courses are there is no social aspect. You would miss being with your peers, group activities and school functions. Teachers would not be as available as they are if you were at regular school. Some online courses are done after the regular school day so evenings would be spent on the computer and days would be long.
In my opinion regular school is better. I think this because of the social aspect. I would miss socializing with my friends. If I had a choice it would be to go to regular school. So is online graduating really better than regular school? In the end it's really a personal choice.
