Why or why not ?
Mon travail :
The twenty-first century knows a new kind of education: virtual school. What is it? The students who have chosen this system follow his education, staying in his home, with milk and cookies. It could seem very cool, very fun, but we always forget a big advantage of a normal High-School: we meet people, all different, and it teaches to live in a community, to be able to have a normal social life. Here, we’ll try to explain all the pros and cons, to decide if this kind of education can be a good solution...
Firstly, we can think that it’s the paradise... Who had never dreamt to work in his bed, to learn each lesson with pudding in the mouth, with the possibility to speak or phone during the class? Yes, virtual school, it’s the freedom. Sometimes, you’re in a real High-School, and during the class, you have to move or to run in the WC, but, unhappily, you can’t. But now, imagine. You’re in your own room, and you must quickly drink something. No problem! You go easily in the kitchen, and you drink. But there is another positive aspect about virtual school. Theses last years, there have been a lot of violence or drugs problem, like, for example, in Columbine High School... But, if you study in your home, there is no problem! Nobody will come and sell you some strange drug, or kill you! You’re far, very far from all these stupid things. So, we can now say that virtual school is a very quiet education system, and not the less safe.
But on the other hand, living with all these problems, having to manage a hard schedule, isn’t it an good way to learn the sense of the responsibility, which is one the principal aim of the education. If you “study” in your own home, you have no timetable, and no rigorous consign. How could you manage a serious job in the future, if you aren’t able to organise you school time-table, which is, of course, lighter than an adult’s schedule? It’ll be impossible. It’s a real advantage of the normal High-School. But, another goal of the school is to accustom you to the social life. If you have always lived in an enclosed room, how will you react when you’ll have to communicate with other people for your job, or to help somebody? Stupidly. But, if you have gone in a normal High-School for some years, you’ll be accustomed to live with everybody, without any border of colour, nationality or hobbies... This is another pro of the virtual school.
Now, let’s imagine I’ve to choose between study with “school.com”, or in a real High-School. Me, I will never hesitate, and would undoubtedly run in the High-School. To me, this establishment represents fellowship and friendship, and I wouldn’t be able to leave it... I think that’s a real luck to have the opportunity of meeting a lot of people in only one day. You speak with people, you eat with people, you study with people... It’s really good for everybody! And we can also speak about the learning of foreign languages! To learn it, we need a real professor who can correct our bad pronunciation. It’s impossible to have this possibility with a virtual professor. Seriously, I’ll choose the normal High-School for all these reasons...
