Writing for English class topic.

This is a writing topic for my English class. We have to write to an imaginary editor about his idea to make schools 'better' by using online.

To Editor:

I've come across your idea, thinking of a new thing for schooling. Well I honestly don't think it'll work. No one's really going to agree to this but some students. Though I do think it's a good idea as well as a bad one.

Good idea for the students living in the outlying, rural areas. Since they're farther away form school than the rest. It'll take longer for them to get there. It could very much so make them tardy. Also the buses may not be able to pick them up if they're that far in the rural.

Then as I think about it more, it's a bad idea. (Not offending you, by the way.) For one, the students wouldn't be able to genuinely befriend anyone new since they aren't technically meeting the other students. It could effect their social life in a negative way. It could lead to depression. And they'd get bored.

Even though some classes might have webcams, others might not. That could lead to lack of paying attention to the ones that don't. The teachers wouldn't know if the student is paying attention or not. I mean, sure, if they weren't answering the teacher, then he/she would notice. But I think you get my point. By this they could start failing.

I hope you take the time to read my response to your idea. I notice your goal trying to help students. Though try to understand where I'm coming from. This is not the idea you thought it to be.
