text: There's visual learners and there's learners who can succeed by hearing. A visual learner wouldn't be able to learn if they did online education. They would be setup for failure because the school didn't organize the education around the student. Making an option for a student to learn from a video conference or online is a risk schools would have to take. Some students could choose that option but end up failing because they didn't know how well they learn online or from a video conference. Another risk with that option is some students might take advantage of it and choose it so they can stay home and not participate. Some students may choose the option of learning online but instead of doing that they could do other things. However, if they go to school then they have no other choice but to learn. They also wouldn't be allowed to do anything but learn because their is a teacher present and can monitor everything they do. Offering those ways of learning as an option is a huge risk. Students could take advantage of it and fail the whole purpose of allowing those options. Schools could get a lot of hate for it if the students use them and don't follow the rules. No school should ever want that happening to them. That's why there are many risks in allowing students to learn through an online or a video conference.
