text: I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou, Angelou claims that she skipped school in order to provide labor to her family business. When she got her first job as a housemaid at the age of 14, she had never experienced the discipline of a real teacher, a problem that also comes with online schooling. A few days into the job, Angelou broke numerous plates in spite of her "unfair" boss, but failed to realize the repercussions that would follow. If Angelou had attended real schooling, it's evident that she would be familiar with punishments that come with misbehaving, and likey would not have been fired. For online school, without a true disciplinary figure, kids could become just as naive as Angelou in the workplace. Outside-of-the-house school also teaches young adults about the social importance of punctuality. For example, for three years I've been the pianist for the school jazz band. Arriving to school at 7:30am every Wednesday is draining, however I've learned that if I'm late, I will get in trouble by not only my band director, but I will have also have let down all my band-mates. This has taught me to always be punctual to my hostessing job at a local resteraunt, knowing that if I fail to show up, I will have let down my co-workers. Such activites, that require punctuality, are not a factor of online schooling. Since punctuality is a necessary aspect of a job, students need to learn the trials and tribulations of punctuality in order to refrain from minimizing their good relations with co-workers and bosses in order to keep their jobs.
