Walking on the road with my books in hand, calling to neighbors as I walked pass their picket fence, saying good morning to Ms. Jane a lonely widow, and hearing the school bell ring for recess were some of the perks I got while attending school traditionally. Both online schooling and going to school traditionally have their pros and cons attached to it; however, traditional schooling is the best way to go, and this is why.

While going to school traditionally you will be able to have a face-to- face interaction with your professor. With this face-to- face interaction you will have the ability to ask and get answers to question you don’t know. Not to mention, you can also have hands on experience while doing laboratory work, with assistance just across the room.  I also asked my mother, which does she prefer? Her answer was, “definitely traditional schooling, because I am not use to computers.” In other words, traditional schooling is better for people who are computer illiterate. How are you going to learn anything online, if you don’t even know how to go online? Another reason why traditional schooling is better than online schooling is that you will get to meet new people, and even make friends. Friends help to make mountains become molehills, this means difficult task become easier when a friend is around to help you. A friend of mine once told me he was doing an online math class, he said it made his time more flexible; however, he was failing the class due to not having a professor or a classmate to show him how to do various complicated mathematical equations.

Now tell me, would you give up these benefits of going to school the traditional way for the abominable online education system?
