text: Having the resonsibility of "attending" and participating in online class sessions is a lot to ask of some teenagers, but it can help them become more indepentent as well. Although online classes would allow more comfort, physically going into school, and sitting in a classroom with a teacher persuades students to do their work-- since there are little alternatives. People with that view could argue that going to school offers more structure for students who need it and don't have the motivation to do the work on their own. Towards the end of my interview with Generic_Name she mentioned that, "It's hard not having a teacher to work with directly to help me, but I think it has made me a better writer, since I've been having to do a lot of my own writing." Online classes make students become more independent and ready for their future jobs when they grow up. As many people graduate from high school, they have little knowledge of how college will go, so through these online classes students will, early on, have to adapt to getting their work done on time without the constant reminder of a physical teacher. Though online classes may not feel as structured as attending school, they allow children to gain independence and sense of what to expect in the future; because we won't always have the help we need whenever we need it.
