text: Secondly,sometimes students do not understand a unit that they are learning and need to ask more questions, at most schools their are after school tutoring sessions or students ask their teachers for extra help. When attending online school students do not have this luxury. For a student attending online school to get help they would have to email their teacher, who may not answer for a few days. This process may be very time consuming and may put students behind their peers. A second reason a student may want to speak with their teachers in person is teachers can be great mentors for the future and may help students decide what they want to do with life after school. Many students will console in their teachers, they will ask for advice or help with a situation. All in all, teachers are a good resource for students to have around for things such as tutoring or mentoring.
