A Virtual School

Be ready and prepered to say goodbye to the blackboard, and welcome your new future "friend" - The keyboard. Nowadays, there is a new, growing phenomenon of Virtual Schools. Few are the people who have heard about this new method of teaching, in which students learn and study via the internet. The student does not actually meet neither his teacher nor his classmates. In this essay, I will present the pros and cons of virtual Schools.


This phenomenon bears a sack of benfits, and that may be the reason why many people praise the concept of virtual schools. it is very convenient since students are not dependant on buying course books and stationery, but on using the incredible world of the internet. It saves their time and their parents' money. Moreover, each student can progress at his own pace and under the supervision of a professional teacher. This makes the studying process much more efficient and enjoyable.


Apart from all the pros, this concept of virtual schools may be somewhat problematic. Abandoning the traditional school also means abandoning the social skills students acquire when going to school. When students spend their time studying only via the internet, less time is left for the sake of meeting their friends face to face and spending time around them. Futhrermore, The internet has managed to penetrate almost every aspects(מיותר) of our lives, and prevents people from living the "real world". Therefore, it should not penetrate school as well.


In conclusion, the concept of virtual schools may bear many pros and be very convenient, still, I support the old method of teaching. "all that glitters is not gold"

Great work. I can see Michal has been a great help.
