text: First of all, students would have greater flexibility in their schedules through online classes, which will then help students improve in academics and talents. For example, my friend Generic_Name has been home schooled ever since she started grade school, her parents utilizing online classes to educate her. The only difference between her and a school student was that Generic_Name went through her classes at a comfortable pace, without having to sit idly through pointless lectures that were not actually beneficial to her learning, leaving more time during the rest of the day to focus on her love for singing. As a matter of fact, Generic_Name's academic success did not decrease at all due to her taking online classes, shown by her scholarship from the University of California. Some may say that students who take online classes from home will not improve academically due to the absence of the physical presence of a teacher. While this view is understandable, it is incorrect because students who attend online classes do just as well as students who learn at school. An example that represents this is the online education course known as Khan Academy, famous for its in depth lessons for various aspects of learning. In particular, my friend Generic_Name took advantage of the online SAT classes the course had to offer, which led to him achieving a great score of 1470 on the August SAT. Similarly, my friend Generic_Name, who had attended classes all summer long at a school, earned the same score even though supposedly, he was supposed to do better since he was learning from an actual teacher. The flexibility online classes offer impact the students only in a positive manner.
