text: Being locked away for 6 hours in school, students extracurricular activities are limited to only a few options. You could do a sport after school and maybe a club on top of that, but anything more is going to be an impossible workload. However, online classes are taken at home! Students are not confined to the rules of a school day; they have the option to pursue many more non school related activities. Instead of sitting bored in study hall, they can take a shift at work. Instead of relearning the same topic for the tenth time, they can be practicing their favorite instrument. Instead of getting yelled at for being late to class, they can be rushing to their internship interview. Think about how much potential is wasted because students dont have that much free time. Im not saying that everyone is destined to become the next Elon Musk, but being able to have more freedom as a teen will create a more experienced and prepared adult.
