text: Some people may claim that online school makes a student lazy because they will procrastinate. However, as a student takes their classes from home, they build beneficial time management skills. In high school, for example, I took an online course for personal finance and economics. There was work due every week; however, all of the assignments were officially due at the end of the school year. Splitting up the work every week until the final deadline helped build the time management skills needed for success in the future. Additionally, the online course provided students with a general guide to split up work to help them manage their time. This helps build a foundation to grow time management skills. Online school, overall, has deadlines and tools that help a student build time management skills.
