For centuries almost every child at the age of six to eighteen has had to wake up early in the morning, wear his school uniform and go to school. Have you ever dreamt of a different situation? Have you ever imagined studying at home? Actually, it happens(gr. - use the present progressive) because of a new approach to(ww.) education. I strongly believe this form of studying is good in some cases. Nevertheless, in other situations we should incorporate it with the usual framework.
To begin with, virtual schools may be an appropriate way to reach children in remote places or that are put(ww. - live) in a(מיותר) difficult conditions. For example, in Cast Leed Operation the Ministry of Education could reach pupils in cities and towns(מיותר) who could not go to school because of Squad launching. That way the students could stay in their shelters and study. However, this means failed to reach pupils who did not have computers at home. Those pupils usually came from a poor economic background.
Another point to consider is that virtual schools are efficient to those who have self discipline and are motivated to study on their own. Unfortunately, most Israeli students need to come to school and a teacher to guide them and tell them what to do. They will not study in a virtual school because a virtual teacher can not provide this. Therefore, virtual schools, in my opinion, are suitable for people who are autodidactic.
.
To conclude, in the light of the above, I believe virtual schools are good in certain situations and with pupils who are highly motivated. However, with less motivated learners it will not be effective. Thus, it will be a good idea to incorporate computer work in the classroom as we do in our English lessons.
Very Impressive!
