text: Structure is a key part of the amount of success a student will have in their academics. Schools provide this with teachers and how they make sure that a student is working up to his/her potential. About a year ago, there was a student at Generic_School that was a certified delinquent. This student barely showed up to class and his grades clearly represented it. Consequently, a teacher took her time and effort to try and get him on the right path. In time, it worked and the student is a lot more successful because this teacher gave him the structure that he needed and something he wouldn't have gotten online. Let's face it, if a student takes classes online, he/she won't give the same amount of effort they would normally due to no one keeping them in check. Staying home the entire day would give a student the thought of "hey, just do this later". That's the type of mindset a student will have if they take online school. Success isn't just the amount of effort a student puts in, but also the structure built around them.
