Sometimes bullying can help make you a stronger person and to help you deal with different situations. Also if you have online school and you never went to school or didn’t have any friends at your old school then you wouldn’t have anyone to do anything with and you would be all alone all the time. No one deserves to be alone all the time and is never experienced to other people or kids their age other than their brother, sisters or relatives.

Your teacher can focus on you more and not have as many distractions. It can also be a good idea if you are getting bullied at school and cannot handle the bully anymore. There also are no (I’m hoping) bullies online. Especially if you are in a one on one conversation with the teacher!
I think online school is a bad idea too. I think it is a bad idea because if the student is taking a math test, you have all the resources to find the answers. I hope no one would do that but, just to be safe. Also you would not have any friends online. That doesn’t mean that does not mean that you do not have friends outside of school.Plus you would not have any snow days!
If you take a test online you could cheat because there is no teachers to watch you take it. You could not even be paying attention and doing something else and not pay attention. You can’t see your friends you could only talk to them on the internet. You can’t interact with people your own age. You might not have friends.
I think online school is a bad idea.

Kids will be more glued to their screen and get away from the outside world. Also, your best friend could be sad only seeing you for a little time after school. Kids doing online school could stop being social and that has an impact on that person's life.
I think online school is good and bad idea. One reason it is a good idea is you don’t get distracted by others. One reason it is bad is your social life you don’t really get to see your friends like in school and making friends. Another good reason is the teacher you have really gets to focus on you so if you need help she doesn't have to go through a line of kids to get to you. One last bad thing is social anxiety cause if you are in normal school you get to have recess with your friends in online school you don’t get to walk around with your friends.
I think online school is a bad idea. Online school is a bad idea because you are very unsocial, if kids usually have a hard time at regular school making friends, online school is not for them. Also in online school you don't have the opportunity to speak in front of a class, speaking in front of a class can help kids grow. Another reason online school is bad is because sometimes kids need to be near other kids so they can be social and make friends, in online school you are completely alone, you don't have any fellow students. In conclusion i don't think online school is a good idea because kids don't have a chance to be social
I think it’s a good idea. It’s a good idea because, it you got bullied in regular school you can't physically get hurt. Another reason is you can work at your job and still “attend” school. if you're not very social you can still “go” to school and learn things. and finally you can't really get distracted by other kids in the classroom. Over all I think online school is better than reg. school.

That would be why i would not support my kids to do online schooling.
I think online school is a bad idea.

Plus since they don't see there teachers face to face so they wont fell like they need to respect them. plus when if they have recess they have no one to play with. If they have one computer but 3 siblings how would they all do school.

Also if u don’t have wifi and it is down you can’t say at school that i can’t come because its on line. That’s why I think it’s a bad idea because you don't get to do what you can do in public school.
I think online school is a bad idea. Online school is a bad idea because... if you started school when you were in a younger grade and your just learning on an online school you cant really make friends. Also if the child's parents don't have internet connection the child well the student can't connect so they can't learn on the school website. One thing is if the student has anxiety and if they use online school there anxiety can get worse and that will lead to not having friends sometimes if that happens. Also staying on topic with I just said if there anxiety gets worse they will stay in the house more and won't go outside and they won't have any social interactions with there peers to make friends. This is just the few reasons why I think online school is a very bad idea.

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because...waiting around for an organ transplant can take up to years, but not with a 3-D printer. A 3-D printed organ has cells from other organisms that make the print just as well as a natural organ. It can save people’s lives as well as the human race. The transplant takes only about a few hours, and there will be no long wait. The world population will boost by a lot because of 3-D printed organisms. If you’re ever in need of an organ, you can count on the 3-D printer.
I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because it could save a lot of lives. If an organ is infected they can create a new one. Since they are 3D printed it would only take around a day to get. Plus they test the organs on animals who need them so it helps the animals too. The organs are real so people won’t have plastic in them. I think the 3D printed organs will help a lot of people. That was how.
I think 3D printing is a good idea because i can make cool things. I also think this is a good idea because I can learn how to make things in a different way. I think this is a cool way to make 3D printings. I think this is a good way to help other people in a different way. i think it is cool to repair someone with something more softer than to have to have metal tools in my body.I think people would have a better time with 3D printed organs. I think this is a cool way to have an organ repaired than to have to wait for somebody to deliver theirs to me.
I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because the things that print out of the 3-D printer are breakable so if they are in people and it breaks it can hurt them. It also isn't safe for that kind of material to be inside a human's body. If any of that material gets inside of another part of the body that can also damage that part of the body. 3-D printers are capable of doing things but I don't think they are capable of doing this for people. If I needed a new organ I don't think i would be able to trust a 3-D printer. In my own opinion 3-D printers are not meant to make organs.
I think online school is a bad idea. Online school is a bad idea because… I think it would be a bad idea because kids would not get the perfect Education they need to have a career to they would have no teachers to help out if they need some special help or maybe there doing the wrong work they need to be doing.

kids is because there is hackers out there.Also I don't think online school is good for kids is because you might lose your friends and won't have any people to talk to and you will end up not doing anything.Other reason why online school is sometimes people will sleep in and forget to do their work and in regular school you will do all their school work and won't forget.An other reason why online school is not the best choice for children is because of their work jobs and they are tired and don't do their school work that night.To me the only reason why kids should do online school is when they are getting bullied. hackers out there.Also I don't think online school is good for kids is because you might lose your friends and won't have any people to talk to and you will end up not doing anything.Other reason why online school is sometimes people will sleep in and forget to do their work and in regular school you will do all their school work and won't forget.An other reason why online school is not the best choice for childeren is because of thier work schuale and they are tired and dont do their school work that night.To me the only reason why kids should do online school is when they are getting bullied.
I think online school is a bad idea. Online school is a bad idea because kids won't make any friends. Kids could not do what the teachers ask them to. It is bad for your eyes to look at a screen all day. If there is a storm and you lose power than you can't do school work. They will never get to know their teachers.
I think online school is a bad idea because they don't get to interact in real life. People who take school online might get worst hand- eye coordination. Also it isn't a good idea to look at a computer screen all day. It could also be dangerous online, where there are millions of people! That is why i think online school is a bad idea.
I think online school is bad. You do not interact with people. You don't actually see the work. You don't have a teacher in front of you. You may not get it all. you don't have the same environment.
