text: Some people may argue that, without a teacher, students would not complete their work. Possibly allowing themselves to fail in favor of playing a video game or sleeping. Without outside control, it is easy to understand why one would think that. However, just because school is online doesn't mean there aren't punishments. Not only should a student's guardian be able to keep the student from slacking off, but teachers as well. Just because the schooling would be online it doesn't mean the student can't be punished. Time management is a very important thing for everyone to learn and online school is a great way to teach it. Forcing a student to understand if they don't plan, they will face the repercussions.
