The Advantages Of Online High School

By Janine Hughes


In the ancient days things were different when compared to today. The technology back then, like mobile phones were different compared to what we have today. Telephones were used as people did not have mobile phones and this made communication hard. The emergence of mobile phones has made life a bit easier and better. This can also be said about education, it was a common thing for students to go to classes and meet their teachers face to face which is not necessarily the case today. Technology has also made education easier and that is why we will look at the advantages of online high school.

Online highschool is a method of studying where students do not have to be in the classroom physically to meet with their teachers. All that they require is a computer and access to internet then they can do their assignments and send it to their teachers.

However, there have been some myths about this method of study which are; diplomas from online highschool would not be accepted by colleges- as long as the student has done all that is required to make him or her qualify for college it is accepted just as the traditional method. Another myth being that this method of study is easier compared to the normal classes- which is not true because the lessons are the same just different method of getting them.

That it is expensive as private schools which is not the case. Its actually cheaper because all that is required is a computer and internet and the fees paid are less compared to the normal classes. And that troubled kids are the ones who should do online highschool course which can be disapproved as anyone can do online studies.

On reviewing the advantages of this mode of study, its seen that student have the freedom to learn at their own pace. This makes it easier for those that have other things going on in their lives which makes it possible to incorporate learning in their schedule and still manage to pursue it perfectly.

Another reason to choose this study method over the traditional one is that there are no distractions- one can go to a place where there is no noise therefore maximum concentration. Lastly, among many other advantages is that the fast the student do their lessons the faster they will graduate.

However, there are some few disadvantages of this method of studying they are; a student might not be able to understand anything and there is no teacher to explain to him or her making it difficult to move forward to the next topic. There is less fun because one is usually alone and there is no one to interact with and one can easily lose focus because there is no one to oversee what they are doing.

In conclusion, the introduction of online highschool has helped people who cannot afford the traditional schooling and has also helped those who do not like to attend the normal classes. Both ways a student can get their diplomas and students should be encouraged to do online schooling.
