text: Having online schools allows students the opportunity to learn at their own pace. However, some people believe that it is better to keep all students learning the same material at the same time. The disadvantage to this is that not everyone learns at the same pace, and some students need more time in certain subjects than others. If a student wants to finish all their math classes in a week, they should have the option to do that. If a student would benefit from having more time to practice rhetorical analysis, then the student should be able to get that practice. Allowing students to choose their own pace of learning will ultimately make them more successful in school because if they aren't doing well in a subject, they have time to practice until they are able to succeed.
