text: Follow your dreams is a statement many teachers have taught students since kindergarten. How can one follow their dreams when they are required to stay in school for 180 days of the year. This is where online school takes a huge part in. Students are still able to walk across the stage at graduating and do something they are passionate about. Charlie Damelio,and other influncers miss a lot of school due to tours, commercials and brand trips. Online school is their only option. Many people say that kids should not miss school for entertainment purposes, but these kids are building a brand and making money in a capitalistic society. Pulling kids out of school to work on TV shows and movies is not a new concept. How do you think shows like Full House and Boy Meets World were filmed. These kids had to hire teachers to teach them full time and still go to set. Online Schooling is so much better for actors and influncers now because they can do all the requirements their school has and still film. Noah Schnapp, an actor on Stranger Things loves online school because when he is done filming he can go back to school and is not behind. Online school is something that has been brought up in my family recently. My sister does gymnastics and practices 4 hours a day 3 days a week, Her coaches believe she could become a junior Olympian and wants her to practice 5 days a week for 8 hours a day. Thats a huge opportunity for a 13 year old and could help her get into UCLA on a full gymnastics scholarship. Her passion and drive for gymnastics is not at the same level as it is for school. She goes to school and just does what she need to do to pass. Online school is a really good option for her so she is able to do what she loves and get an education.
