    I did online school 2020-2021 and it was WAYYYY better than being in person. I’m currently in person right now (in my junior year of hs) and I HATE IT compared to last year. I have social anxiety and have no friends, so online schooling is literally a dream come true for me. I’m most likely signing up for online schooling again for my senior year and will probably end up doing online college as the major that I’m currently interested in following through with (computer science/programming) has many opportunities for homeschooling.
    Honestly, if you’re like me, definitely go for online schooling. It can be hard to focus at times, but the flexibility of it and the lower pressure to socialize/fit in makes it SO WORTH IT. good luck to anyone reading this and have a good day/night !!!

I’ve started online school this year ( 2022 ) of 8th grade, and it’s going good so far! I don’t have any friends, and my social anxiety has been horrible and that’s overall mainly why I didn’t go in-person. I don’t know if I should go in person or stay online throughout my highschool years, I just need help deciding.

    solid video !! i just wanted to add: if anyone has strict parents here & you dont think youre ready for online school or youre already forced into it, something i regret was not fighting back as much. it was terrible for me; i went from being an honors student, about-to-be-placed into higher math placement, and about to launch several clubs like student leadership, varsity dance and cheerleading (or gymnastics) against other schools in our district, introducing pep rallies to my school, etc. to.. losing everything and becoming more like an 82-87% student after being forced into online school just cus my mom wanted to homeschool me to impress people :/
    i became incredibly lonely. my neighborhood is full of younger kids and my old school friends were so busy with high school that they couldnt visit or relate with me when we talked. i dont have any strong school ECs either so i also wont be going to my dream colleges and will go to a great local uni but its not the same (PLEASE plan extracurriculars if ur interested in selective/semi-selective colleges). i regret not convincing my mom enough to let me back in to physical classes, even when i was in 11th grade as i now developed ADHD from online school so my graduation is delayed until i finish 10 more courses. i would love to graduate with my graduating class of 2023 but idk if i can even do it before december and it will most likely be delayed until '24. if online school is not for you - its never ever too late (if ur not a senior) to make the switch and get back on track; your counsellor or principal will 100% be willing to help you with the switch.
    other than that, for people that are interested in online: fully prepare yourself. buy aesthetic supplies to keep your brain entertained/tricked into writing notes, decorate your bedroom with vines, string lights, galaxy projectors, whatever helps -- and make sure your desk reminds you of a neat school environment to train your brain that that's your study space and not your bed. and have a solid morning, meal, and night routine to keep you inclined to do homework daily :) if your online school is asynchronous, it is 100% possible to graduate high school in the same year or within 2 years esp if youre a fast typer; i totally recommend it. teen years are the best year to be free.

    As an homeschooler just starting my 4th year (in an online school), I would definitely recommend a back up plan for socialization. Some online schools don't allow you to trade personal info with other students so that reduces it more. Take the time to really consider what you can do to get yourself out there and talk to people , unless you genuinely don't mind being a lonely person.
    That may be useful to only some people. Either way, if getting friends is gonna be a rare opportunity for you, take any chance you have ! I wish you all well.

    I was mandated to do online school due to the fact that I need surgery on my leg and the doctor said it would be best if I could minimize the movement of my leg and so far it’s been really nice. The teachers are really awesome and you get a plan to follow in order to not fall behind called pace charts.. basically telling you what you have to complete each week for each class.
    Edit: it does get pretty lonely as Matt said but make sure you get some sun and eat well because sitting inside all day isn’t good for

    Context: Hey guys! My name’s Emmett, and I’m an A+ student that’s just recently switched to online. I though that I should give another perspective on online school, so here I am!
    Here’s some of the positives and negatives of online school imo:
    Positives;
    Focusing can be really quite easy, especially without classmates who are crazy noisy!
    You can schedule your day to fit whatever you’d like to do for fun (Ex: the mall),
    You can be very productive,
    You can cater a specific learning technique to your learning,
    You can spend tons of time doing things that you like,
    And finally, this only really applies to a minority, but, being in online school could be an escape from bullying!
    The negatives:
    Lack of socialization,
    Classes aren’t really organized ‘for you’, so you’ll have to plan your day by yourself,
    Can lead to a lack of exercise if you’re not motivated to do so,
    And it can definitely be straining to look at a screen all day (like the person in the video said).
    Overall, I love my school! There’s something nice about being able to take things at my own pace, and having the ability to contact teachers to reschedule different events.
    I’d mainly recommend online school to high-academic students, who are already doing well in school. Reason for, is kids who already have a hard time doing well may find it hard to keep up with all of the tasks that online school throws at you.
    Definitely a solid 9/10! And I’d be glad to answer any of your questions, so reply to this and I’ll answer ‘em!

In my experience the social part is not so much a struggle because online school allows me to have more time for extracurriculars and courses so I can meet people with the same interests as me instead of being stuck with the same kids in a class lol, and I love how you can plan your own schedule. The eye straining problem is real, however since it’s online I can take as many breaks and do other things so my sight doesn’t get tired. I love that in online school you are so much more independent and you don’t have to be in school 8 hours a day, you can accommodate the classes for your own pacing instead of following something rigid. Honestly I hope I can graduate earlier too but it’s nice to meet more online school students :))

During covid I skyrocketed and my grades were never below 80, I actually was able to get assignments done and I learned so much faster and I adapted really well to the change. But at this in-person school, assignments would be given the same day and then be due the same day. What's worse is that I have 10 periods every single day....The schedule doesn't shift so instead of me seeing different teachers everyday, it would constantly be the same teachers. I hate when something is so repetitive to the point where it gives me a reason to not care anymore...I'd randomly just not go to school on some days because of the pressure of everything...My mental health, my sleep schedule and my depressive episodes, they've all gotten so much worse. At this point everyone in my family thinks I have adhd...It was so bad that I'd randomly cry at school begging to go home... I still find it weird that they would even give me an AP (advanced) history class when I know nothing about the country? I literally just migrated from another country and randomly chose to attend this school cause I just wanted to finish my schooling and get my diploma but it's so stressful. Assignments that are given in class need to be finished within the class's time period and I find that impossible, I can't focus on a task for a long period of time and it's hard, especially to think in a classroom that feels like I'm being suffocated every day. The classes are like 30- 45 minutes long. I don't get home til 4-5 pm. When I do get home, my mind and body would be so drained that I'd sleep for 10 hours.... They'd take our phones and we can't get them til around 4. There's hardly any space in the classrooms and the kids are so unsettled, it feels congested. You'd have to pay almost $100 for uniform expenses. They gave us Chromebooks to use but without its charger? Like c'mon? I'm totally gonna switch to online school.... I just don't know how to tell my mom that....
    Edit: Just talked to my mom about it..... She doesn't understand me at all.... She isn't even listening to how damaged my mental health is... saying that she (doesn't have the time right now for that)...that she's busy..... so- yea.
    2nd edit: it’s already been 3 weeks since I’ve made that comment….and I still haven’t changed to online school yet because they ended up changing my schedule and I thought that things would’ve been better right?….wrong- now? A group of kids are just randomly following me around the school, watching me, laughing at me, making ugly comments about me….is this what they call bullying? I don’t know anymore- I just wanna stay inside and never come out again at this point

      hey there, i'm here to say that i genuinely do understand you and i struggle with in person schooling aswell due to my mental health issues and me being anti-social.
      it doesn't help the fact that i'm autistic and genuinely can't handle being around people since people at school just act so uncomfortably gross and unhinged, im trying to tell my mother about online schooling again (this isn't my first time telling her)
      i mostly have online friends anyway and i genuinely can't form friendships with other highschoolers since they're more different than i am. i really do hope you're doing alright, best wishes to you and i hope you're able to switch to online schooling soon.

    I know this is an old video, but thank you so much for taking your time to post this. I'm leaning pretty hard towards online school next year and this helped me to confirm my decision just a bit more. At my current school im surrounded by the worst most toxic people ive ever met. I want to do online school to get away from that and to pursue my passion for surfing because its something I need to travel and save money to be able to keep doing and go consistently. Yes, I have came to realize my social life will decrease, but if i keep those good friends close like you said, I feel like I will be making the best decision. Thank you

    Watching this when I’m already home schooled, but I completely agree with everything you said. I left school due to mental health; many said it was going to be the wrong decision because I wouldn’t be socialising, but I had no other choice because I was scared if I stayed at school I would do something I would regret. I lost many friends, but I didn’t really have many in the first place, I am a person who loves being alone, i like my own company and I love being at home, so online/homeschooling for me was so much better

    It's not even about friends especially if you got one more year of school left. Say you just wanna do online because you want it to be yourself and your books. It's all about what you choose to focus on. If you're scared about not seeing friends or social interactions then go to school it's fine. But if you have a strong background in why you wanna do so then don't be afraid to do so. Like I want to go online school so i can start my own catering business and go train at my running club. I'm more focused on my future and where I'm going and want to be more focused on my careers in which I want to succeed in. I know I'll get more time to schedule properly, plan and create when I'm online. Some of us here are trying to make statement out here

    honestly, the point about losing your friends is very true. i used to think i had barely any or no friends, but nothing compares to now that im in online school and they are in school in person. it's unfortunate because my anxiety prevents me from going outside. it has been really hard. i usually spend most days waiting for a text, call, or any form of communication from my old friends instead of doing my work, but it never happens. i'm trying to just focus on online school and forget about it now, but it lingers.

    Edit: I might just’ve gotten effective coping mechanisms now that I think of it. Either way I’m happy with the corona online school, I really should start looking into online school seriously.

Please have a valid reason...and when I say that I mean have a reason so good that your choice between schools will affect your academic performance. Like for example, I switched to online school because I needed certain accommodations for my learning to help me thrive academically and my old school couldn't provide them for me! So, if I had stayed my grades would have been horrible and I wouldn't be able to do what I want to do for Collage/University! Basically, to sum it up, please have a valid reason :)

  • @idilsualtintas

    Because of Covid, I had to go online during 6th grade. My first year of middle school. I thought it would be bad but it honestly wasn’t terrible. The timing wasn’t the best since I was starting to mature, and go through mood swings which made me very emotional. I think that the fact was that it was a hard time, but online school was a little help. Anyways, I concluded that as the hardest year of my life until I hit 7th grade. In person and it was a living hell. I started to struggle a bit in some classes, which is crazy for me as a straight A student, and I just hated life. I procrastinated like crazy and had mental breakdowns in the bathroom pretty often. My parents tried to help with the little bit that I opened up to them but they didn’t know how bad it was. Summer now has just ended and I’m going back to school in five days or so. And summer was actually really good. Not spectacular, but the most alive I’ve felt in like two years. And now I’m fucking terrified. I’ve been sobbing everyday, multiple times a day for the past few days and I see no end. Im thinking maybe going online for high school can help with whatever phenomenon I’ve been living. But I’m not certain. Everyone in my life has been telling me it’s a bad idea. You’ll have no friends, you won’t be able to do band, you won’t live the high school experience they say. Fuck the high school experience dude. I just want to be happy again. I don’t want to be sad anymore. I don’t want to ruin my life any further tho. I’m so close to giving up and it’s scary.
    Anyways sorry for the emotional dump but if not minded, some advice would be appreciated :)

      I'd recommend you to do it. I'm in the same situation or even worse right now, and I literally do not care about the "high school experience" or the having of no friends. I don't even have friends. I just want to actually learn something.... I just want to be happy... because everything is so pressuring and it's very hard considering that I'm a new student at the school and I had to start my Junior year in the 3rd term. I'm overall new to the whole country and I just feel so lost. People try to take advantage of that too... that I'm new so they'd use me and have me thinking that we were friends... the school schedule sucks ( I need to do 10 periods, each period is 30 - 45 mins and the schedule never changes so I have to see the same 10 period teachers every single day), the kids suck and overall the school sucks. I'm tired, and I just don't think that in-person school is for me.

    I’m currently in my junior year of high school in the most competitive public school in Toronto. It’s really a struggle to get good grades but I’m a decent student. I have this question about online school, are you allowed to sign on whenever you want and do your course for the day? I have to sit and struggle for an hour and a half straight just to get decent grades but one of my friends, who has the same smarts as me graduated in his junior year because he did the extra work ahead. He’s now working trades and I’m thinking if it’s good to rush through online school to finish with really good grades and work until I am able to go to university.
    This is what is troubling my mind right now.

    Don't really agree with the video it is possible to keep an active social life without school, and just because your homeschooled or online schooled doesn't mean you can't join any clubs or groups to make new friends. Also I honestly see homeschooling as a great way to develop discipline and self motivation two useful skills that you will need the real world while it is nice to have your teachers annoy you to get your work done that is not how the real world works or like college. Better to struggle it out in homeschool so you will be prepared for college or the real world were you are actually at risk or losing money or opportunities. Think about it would you rather struggle with self motivation now and just get over it and build discipline or would you rather learn that while in college when you're at risk of losing ten of thousands of dollars.

The next year I went to regular public school was a nightmare grades dropped so low and thats when I realize learning with other ppl was not it. And teachers constantly being demotivating. And it's angers me so much that if 1 of 8 of my teachers or the counselors just walked across the hall and told me to do 2 assignments I wouldn't be considering online school. They said I needed 10 more points to have a passing grade which is literally 2 assignments and no one bothered to tell me and it pisses me off so much. And the whole being lonely things is fine cause I'm moving away and even if I did stay here it was rare to see my friends at school at all
