text: School attendance is mandatory for most children in the United States, but sometimes there are problems with the schools that students have to attend. Schools can be understaffed, underfunded, have bullying problems, or a toxic environment. Forcing children to attend these schools can only hinder their learning. If the students were allowed to attend classes from home, they would flourish in their learning. An online teacher can teach many more students than a traditional teacher. With video conferencing, every student would be able to see the lesson clearly, and with email, the teacher and students can communicate effectively. Funding would not have as great of an impact in an online school setting since most of the resources would be online, which is less expensive than in a traditional classroom, where the school has to buy many materials. In online school, any type of cyberbullying can be easily seen by the teacher, as opposed to traditional school, where teachers cannot monitor the actions of all of their students.
