text: Some people think that being able to take an online class is fun and easy. However, they're wrong because a lot of people fail and get behind. My brother was one of those failing people. My brother Generic_Name had to be home bound because he was having problems at school. So, all of his school work was on online. He had a tutor that came twice a week but, only for an hour. At school he would see his teachers 3 times a week for an hour and thirty minutes. By this drastic change he was missing a lot of instructional time. He didn't get to ask questions, take notes, participate in class discussions, or do projects. Therefore, completing school work was a struggle and he failed most of his assignments. Two months later he was finally allowed to come back to school. After a week of being in a classroom setting Generic_Name went from failing grades to honor roll. By being physically absent from a classroom setting he was not getting the proper things he needed for a good learning environment.
