text: Some argue that online school isn't as good as going to regular school because students can miss out on unique opportunities and experiences found only in a traditional classroom. Understanding that online school isn't for everyone, there are some students who prefer going to a school building because they believe it is best suited for their specific needs. However, not all students do well in a traditional classroom and prefer to learn at home. Distractions, drama, poor time management, and and mental health issues that can be found or developed in the classroom can prevent certain students from having a successful high school experience. Many students who have switched from regular high school to online school for these reasons have expressed how helpful it was for them and are successful in their current lives. For students who don't thrive in the physical classroom, they have benefitted from taking online school.
