text: The only possible upsides of allowing students the choice of online school would be the safety and accessibility benefit, if schools were to allow students to learn online, they would be safe from physical dangers like bullying or mass shootings. Past dangers from other students, they would be far away from potential disease spread at school, one of the easiest place for viruses and sickness to spread due to sharing of learning materials and small closed classrooms. Specialization could also come with the choice of online school. Currently, students are put into schools based on their living location. This causes a large rift in the performance of schools, even in the same district. With online schools students would not be locked into a school next o them. Students could have the choice of taking math and science classes at a very STEM focused school, and a foreign language at another. This means that courses formerly to specific and uninteresting to most like oceanography or cryptography could be taught with a class size of all the students in a county interested in the specific field of work, allowing for more choice and diversity when choosing classes. While this may all sound good, The quality of the learning would still be far behind that of a normal school no matter how many specific classes there are and how safe the schools would be, students would still be distanced and their education would be mediocre at best.
