A pro to Virtual Classrooms
In our discussion Monday we gave many reasons why we were against virtual classrooms, but we did not really touch much upon what the arguments were for online classes. Obviously at the college level it is convenience, but at the grade school level the biggest pro is that there can be more direct and effective learning for each student. This means programs would be adjusted to fit the needs of the individual. This is a very useful way to learn if forming these programs to each and every child's level is possible. Though I do believe it is possible, I do not think this is something that can happen anytime soon due to the time that would be needed to perfect this system. Kids don't all learn at the same speed, and they don't all learn best in the same way. Targeting individual needs would be very useful, but I will never find the pros to out-weigh the cons.

This is a very good point that I really wouldn't have thought of and agree with. Kids do learn at different speads and having the on line courses would be able to give the advantage of being able to teach them at their own pace. I also agree with the fact that the pros won't out-weigh the cons with this situation.
