“My Teacher Is an App”

The article, "My Teacher Is an App" by Stephanie Banchero and Stephanie Simon matters to me because it tells me how much online schooling can effect how I learn and test. High school is the four years that determine what your going to do for a living. Online schooling is very close to the same thing as home-schooling. Either way, kids who are home-schooled or go online for school, aren’t as social as kids who go to traditional school. It’s because when you are at home learning instead of at a traditional school, there are no other kids that you can hang around with. Online school might save some free time, but does it matter more to have more free time or to have better grades? Grades, especially in high school, matters a lot more than “free time.” Kids 3rd-10th grade that go to traditional schools receive better test grades that kids that take online school. Also, when your learning at home you can’t do extracurricular activities, and can’t play sports the same as if you would at a normal school. It is much better to go to a traditional school because you will do better, receive better information, and be more social. I will always participate in tradition schools because I want to go to a good college and get a good job when I am done with high school.
