text: Following the pace of a teacher can be difficult at times, especially when you don't understand something. Teachers can't always stop lessons to tend to one individual students' needs because it delays the learning of the other students in the classroom. Or, something may be very easy for you but you aren't able to move on to the next thing because students around you aren't as comfortable with that specific topic, so the teacher has to spend more time on it. Also, learning in a space where there are many other people around you doesn't work for everyone because we all process learning differently. With online school, one is able to move as slowly or fast as they like to make sure they understand something to its entirety. Since you are learning virtually, you aren't pressured to hurry and you can be relaxed with knowing that no one is waiting on you. Additionally, you aren't faced with distractions that a classroom is bound to have. Whether it be by students who just aren't focused or by any other inevitable distraction, it isn't fair that you can't be fully focused on doing your work because of other situations that are out of your control. However, going fully home schooled isn't the only way to take online classes. Even if you are able to take a few of your classes online and the rest at school, it can still be very beneficial. Those classes taken online will allow you to stay home until it's necessary to go to school. With online classes, one is able to complete their work in the comfort of their own home with their undivided attention.
