text: STUDENT_NAMEMore than 60% of kids who do online schooling score an average of 250 points lower on the SATs than kids who go to school. Online learning isn't an effective way to gain a decent education and students would not benefit from it. First of all online education puts you in a learning environment that is not suited for learning. Secondly it disconnects you from your fellow peers that could've helped you when you were struggling to understand material. Finally it blocks off the essential skill development of how to work together and with other people. Online learning may be easier than real school but in the end it leaves you at a disadvantage and unprepared for college and life as an adult.
