text: An argument against online classes would be that students are less motivated to learn if they are not in a classroom setting because they do not feel forced. When students are in the school building, they have to do the work assigned by the teacher while in class. They cannot opt out and do the classwork later. If a student is taking a class online and gets to pick when they do their work, then the student might become lazy and procrastinate, resulting in lower quality work. A rebuttal to this would be that while that is true, an online class will prepare students for college. In college nobody is forcing the students to do work and nobody is going to stop a student if they choose to not do assignments. It is the student's responsibility to do their work and an online class could help prepare people for that.
