Are online schools a good choice for everyone?

Question: Are online schools a good choice for everyone?
Answer: Definitely not. Many students are not a good match for distance learning. Students who have low reading comprehension skills will often struggle in their courses. Students who are not self-motivated and need constant guidance are also unlikely to find success. Online classes generally are not a good fit for students who get lonely easily or will miss the social aspect of traditional school too much.
