text: Online school allows for students to work at their own pace in a more comforting environment than the average school classroom. Many students do not see it as an option, but the benefits are right in front of them and should be weighed as a way to take courses in school.        Can you believe that schools are now making students stay after-school to participate in an extracurricular activity. I disagree with schools having students participate in one extracurricular activity becasuse students need time for other activities outside of school, students need time with their families, and they need time to do their homework.
