Virtual Schools

Virtual schools are classes which take place on the Internet. To join a virtual class you need to get its address and go on line to its site on the net and then your computer screen shows a picture of your teacher and an introduction to the course. A virtual school allows students to take courses over the Internet without having to be present in a classroom.

Research has shown that students learning in a virtual classroom did 20% better than students who studied the same material in a regular classroom. Virtual schools are proved as successful due to their advantages. The technology makes virtual schools possible virtual schools, giving students more options for learning. Moreover, Learning in virtual schools can cost less than learning in traditional public schools. Virtual schools include less teachers, students do not use writing implement, which can cost a lot of money and they need not spend money on clothes.

However, learning in a virtual school has some disadvantages.
This form of learning prevents from teenagers the social gathering. Children spend too much time on the computer when it does not include their studies. So, instead of going out of the house, they spend much more time on the computer, when they are required to study.

I believe that studying in a virtual school is interesting and unique, but I think that this kind of learning prevents students from meeting their friends face to face and might influence negatively on the teens' social skills. In my opinion, learning in a public school is much more important and contributive.
