text: Some would argue that online school is not good for a students health, that they would become isolated and develop social anxiety. Although that might be the case for some, majority of students actually do well with online school due to down time. Students that attend school in person are constantly competing with one another for the best grades and highest class rank. However, students that attend online school do not have anyone else to compare to, they do their work, study, and try their best. Being out of a strict in school routine allows online class students to create a time to just focus on themselves and what's around them. As Thoreau believed, doing nothing is necessary. Doing nothing connects you to nature, healing the body and mind. Relaxing is necessary for growth, during the romantics era, people would move far away from the cities to get a glimpse of nature and serenity. Sue Monk Kidd is an author that is inspired by Thoreau's words, she was skeptical of his sayings at first. However, she too believed that doing nothing was key to success. Online school allows students to take time off. The creativity to comes back and once again, your body and mind are refreshed.
