text: However, one of the downsides of online schooling is that there is more distractions at home than at school I believe. They also don't have anyone to really motivate them and to force them to get their work done. For example, they have video games, phones would be much more distracting, etc., and if they dont have anyone to tell them to get there work done, they would just decide not to do it. Teachers help push students to get their work done, but online schooling would change that and more kids would never pass more likely.
