www.school.COMputer

Virtual schools use internet and computer technology to teach students. It has been used at the universities and now it is also used at school.
Its not really used at school becuase the kids don't really go to school. School comes to them through their Personal Computers.

The program's first advantage is the ability to teach with more visual material and thus making the learning more fun and easy. Also, the students don't have to leave their homes, and can easily recieve any piece of information from home. The third advantage is the ability to easily record lessons and rewind information you might have missed.

However, there are still disadvantages. The first problem is students who tend not to study during class. They will simply log into the lessons, but won't learn a thing. Another problem is having less social activity. There are students who usually meet each other during school, and with virtual schools they will only talk but won't meet each other.

I think virtual schools are a great idea and should be implemented in more schools. I would love to study in a school like this because it has more freedom, we use a keyboard to write and of course we don't have to go to school every morning (which is quite far).

Very interesting. Fine work!and you have corrected your work very nicely.

It costs

Dear Ms. Gilat Simon,

Every year High schools send students to praticipate in the Poland expedition, where students fly to Poland and get to expirience the life of jews during World War II from a more personal angle. However, some students are not capable of paying such great amounts of money for this trip, although they really want to go.

I believe the problem is the cost of the trip. The cost is outrageous. I know the trip costs alot of money in general, but I, for one, cannot pay even half of it and my economical state is not as bad as other kids'. They probably don't have money even to pay a fifth for(ww.) it. I think the authorities should pay for most of the trip and show people there is an option to lower the price.

Another problem is the shame. It's really not easy for a person that has economical problems to ask for such agreat assistence for something as big as a trip to Poland. I think that in this case teachers, who know that some students have economical problems, have to ask them directly a few times and maybe even talk with their parents, so they can ensure that they will go(phr. - their participation).

I believe the solution to this problem is simply(ww. - simple), more involvment from the school in each student's economical state and the authorities' envolvment. If they do it, more kids will be able to go on this journey.

I look forward to your replay.

your's truely.
