Online Schooling VS Classroom

Online schooling seems to be on the rise. It seems that more and more people are looking into it. I have personally experienced both. I am entering my senior year in high school and have gone to both public and private school up until this recent Feburary of 2008. In Feburary I got accepted to West Lane Technical Learning Center which is an online schooling program. Going to WLTLC I never have to go into a classroom if I don't want to although the option is avaliable, I get to work on my school work when ever I feel like from the comfort of my own home, and I get to work completely at my own pace, where as in public or private school I had to stay at the same pace as everyone else and had to be at school in a classroom everyday. I don't have any learning disablities or anything of that nature it was just something new and I wnated to try it. My whole point of this is to find out what other peoples opinion on it is and to help me figure out if I should keep on attending WLTLC or return to public school seeing as it is my senior year coming up this fall.

i think online schooling is for people who are busy with their work and have no time going to regular school

I think that compulsory education (up to 16) should be done in classrooms as the skills you learn through interacting in that environment are skills you cannot learn over the internet. However if you decide to go onto further education then I think that online learning should be an option, since you already have basic people skills.

I don't think it should be one or the other. It's great to get some basic knowledge in the classroom, and then go home and learn more and study on your own via an online course or seminar.
