QOTD #00085: “Would you enroll your kids in full time online school? Is it the future of education?”

“Would I enroll my kids in full-time online school, and is it the future of education? Unfortunately, I think it may be the future of education - hopefully not in my lifetime. But I definitely would not be enrolling my kids in online school. I'd be sending them out there into the big wide world. Eh, it's the only way you learn life experiences.”

“Would I enroll my kids in full-time online school? Is it the future of education? Well, I don't have kids, so that makes that one easy. But if I did, I think no, I wouldn't. I'd want them to be at school, you know, not so much for the learning part of it. More for the social side of things; meeting new friends, playing sports, doing all those different types of things. So, I think no. I'd send them to- I'd send them to normal school.”

“No, I wouldn't be enrolling my kids into full-time online schools in the future. You know why? They still need that physical human interaction. They still need to physically interact with other kids, their school teacher and their school - every staff in their school. Everything. They still need that relationship with other people that is not virtual. I won't be enrolling them into the full-time on- online school.”

“By the time I have kids in the future, I believe that classes will be going back to their traditional way of going into classrooms. So, I don't think that there is a reason why I should enroll my future kids in a full-time online school, so... I believe also that online school is not the future of education because online school is difficult. As a student who experienced online school, I can say that learning outside of classroom and in online school is very different and is difficult. So yeah.”

“Yes, if I ever have any kids, I would definitely enroll them in full-time online school. I think that's the way- that's the future. You don't gotta deal with any other kids bullying or- or fighting or anything like that. I think online school would be the best. They get their education done, you know, you can feed them their lunch that you wanna give 'em and stuff like that. So yes, definitely, online school is the future.”

“"Would you enroll your kids in full-time online school? Is it the future of education?" Personally, I will not enroll my kids in online school full-time because, well - However, it have some pros and cons of online school learning, but for me, one thing - and this plays a big part in, like, the personal development of a child - is, like, social, physical interaction. It- 'cuz I believe it could teach you to have a better understanding of people and their, like, how to understand people's emotions and different types of people, and how to deal with them as you go along in life. So, you have a better understanding of, you know, how to interact with people, if all you understand what I'm tryna say. It- and it will just have a better impact on your future knowing, you know, how to interact with people physically.”

“Yeah, I mean, as long as I can get education. Um, there are definitely other ways to get the social aspect fulfilled and ways you can fulfill life socially online. It's just a matter of people being able to, like, meet needs at home in order to do so. And I typically work from home already at this point. I don't think I'll ever have kids, but if I were to, I wouldn't mind having them enroll in online school because I know I could meet demands needed for the rest of their life at home or in the community. I don't know. I think people who, I don't know, scoff at online schooling can't meet needs at home. Um, whether that - sometimes that's completely valid. They cannot afford to. They can't always be home. But I think a lot of the times, it's just people don't want to have their kids at home, which is, uhn...”
