Let’s start with the good side. Online schools cost very little. You don’t have to spend money on books, or bus tickets. Also, since you can work along with studying at an online school, you would not need to take an education loan (贷款). Another advantage of going to school online is the freedom it provides. You can study wherever you want—in your house, at a café or even in a park. Some people who want to study further, now no longer have to take a break in their jobs, thanks to online schools.

However, those students who often need a push from their teachers to do well have a very high chance of not doing well at online schools. When studying in a class, different topics(话题) in a given subject are discussed and different students give their points of view. This is something that online schooling cannot provide.

Also, there are many employers(雇主) who like students with a traditional degree(学位) better than those who have an online degree. The employers feel that students who go to full-time colleges have more knowledge than those who have online degrees.

In general, it can be said online schools are good for some, while others should give them up! A person should see the situation he is in and then decide whether or not to choose an online school.
