                                           Which one would you choose?

Answer 1

Public school because of my friends!!! And I absolutely love my school so I would never leave even if I had a choice.

Answer 2

I think that if you are a very self-motivated person, you will do better in a virtual school. It will let you explore your interests and passions at a much deeper level than regular school that just scratches the surface on many topics. You can still have a social life, but just need to make more of an effort to find people to make friends.

People that would enjoy self-learning at home are probably not that social to begin with, so it is probably not a big negative and could be seen as a positive if you are the type of person that is a target of school bullying.

Not sure what the impact is when it comes to college admissions. If you want to go to an Ivy league top school, you might need the references from good private schools, but not certain. If you excel enough in a topic, like become famous for doing something, none of that will matter and you can get into just about any top school you want.

There's events, and workdays where students can meet and collaborative projects when you have a chance to work with student.

Answer 3

Virtual school :)

Answer 4

I would pick a public or private school. This is because I can focus much more on my work in person that doing it online. The down-sides of virtual is that there are many distractions in technology and a chance of cyber-bullying. Learning things in person is actually more of a topic that I can focus on more than on the computer, in my opinion. And no offense, but you made the idea of having to go to a public or private school really bad which it's really not. Having to go on a virtual school makes you most likely not to have real but just online friends whereas in a public or private school, they provide you with many options of socializing with people which also can improve your work in your grades. Also, going to a private or public school gives a child more discipline and responsibility by waking up early and doing the work you're supposed to do. It also gives you more respect to teachers, as well. In virtual schools, however, a child can lack discipline, responsibility and respect of other things like waking up whenever you want. So going to a public, private, or virtual school has many bad sides but many good sides as well.

There's no Cyber bullying. emails, and text messages are fully super vised like kid search, if a student is behind then there will be a parent teacher contact, and I performed really well in public and private school till I when to 5th grade there was fights, lack of behavior, etc then I when to virtual school. Either or both options are great depending on if the school has 4 or more stars as a rating. :)
