That's the missing ingredient for online learning. I think being part of a class, having friends there, and not wanting to be left behind plays a huge role.
- WinstonSmith84 5y agoMaybe. But I feel like I wasted so much time when I was at school, playing around with others, not motivated to learn (but I did), sometimes feeling behind on some topics while feeling bored/ahead on others. We were all envious of having rather A than F, or stressed when we underperformed, but being "cool" was not about having the best grade. And being cool was part of the "culture" - totally pointless in retrospective. I don't know if online schooling might have been better but clearly when thinking about it, on site schooling has been filled with a lot of inefficiencies that maybe online schooling is doing better. I guess at least that parents have to be behind in order to "coach".
