text: If there is one thing that every parent knows about children, it is that they love to move. They love to play games and have fun with their friends. They love to do anything that is interactive and can get them to move around just a little more. An online school, unfortunately, does not offer this to a child. When working on an class online someone would have to sit still in a chair, staring at a computer screen without very much movement. That could be harmful to a child because, usually, they cannot sit still for a long period of time. This is only going to cause an increase of energy in them without them letting it out of their system and, sometimes, loss of concentration. When I took an online course in French I would work half the day on the computer until I was just too tired to work anymore. Sitting at a computer for hours mentally exhausted me. Not only will it exhaust the student, but it also isolates the child from other students. Typically, these online classes take place for one individual student. This, in turn, teaches them not to socialize with other children and fails to let kids make friends, whereas physical classrooms endorse these behaviors in students at a young age.
