text: Another reason why I think online school is not beneficial is because of the price. Online school is way more expensive then any other schools. Parents of students that attend online school have to pay thousands and thousand of dollars every month in order for their child to continue on attending school online. Public school on the other hand is completely free and anyone can attend it. In my opinion, if online school had a higher education rate I would understand why it is so expensive, but the thing that is really interesting to me is that online school is receiving similar education with the people that don't attend school online.
