text: First off, homeschooling has been around for my whole life; however, just in this last decade the word "home school" has been given a whole new meaning. The communication of students to professors through online video conferencing is not only getting more popular, but has also brought amazing benefits to both sides. This way of communicating is not only much more efficient for the student and professor as far as personal time goes, but much more efficient for our environmental factors as well! The amount of gas just students alone use getting to and from school is astounding. We already have enough people letting the toxic fumes of carbon dioxide from gas burn off ruin our atmosphere; why have more than we need? If just one in ten students were able to video chat, or take class online one to three times a week with their professors, the time, energy, money, and well being of people would dramatically increase. Besides it's a lot easier to power an iPhone or iPad, than to power a car.
