i can say studying at school is the very interesting to choose between studying online at home.for once i like to wear a uniform and i have also friends in school to meet..studying in school is also reasonable.i am more focus in my studying unlike in the house i cannot focus because i do not stay enough long hours in the computerand at home is very noisy i just cant concentrate and my eyes get strain if staying longer hours in the computer.i like to participate in school and extra curricular.

Studying at school is for me incomparable than studying at home. School is where we learn from our teachers and friends alike. I know it can also happen at home yet the school is where most of the students go to exchange ideas firsthand. A little exercise by walking and a bit of jogging from one building to the other is good enough for our body . Friendships are most likely going to happen where social interaction is at it's best too.
Whereas, studying at home is much virtual than studying at school. Making new friends upfront won't be instant if you study at home. It also limit you for having social interaction from people outside. It makes you depend mostly on the internet which i think is not good either. At least if you happen to study at school, you have friends who can help you anytime because technically, you are riding the same boat. They are experiencing the same hardships, as the saying goes...."Birds of the same feathers, flock together".

Yeah...I won't trade school from home when it comes to studying. As you said, it is very interactive studying at school. It is also where help from friends will be present at all times. Exchanging of ideas will always be present at school whereas at home, you sometimes need to do everything alone. I am planning to go back to school to pursue my masters degree and i am surely reiterate--going back to SCHOOL and not Home

I like to studying at school. Bevause at the school we can make friends with each other ,can conmunicate face to face, rather than facing to a computer all day long. At the same time we would have lively lectures from our teachers at the school, not just in the front of the computer to listen to the boring lectures. Not only do we get knowledge from school, make new friends, but also to obtain happiness.

yes in school we can make friends and we can also can relax and join extra curricular activities that is fun and we can enjoy.face to face interaction will help you to express your views and you can also motivated to speak english fluently especially on how to communicate in class.teachers deliver great teachings and skills so students listen very well in every topics and discussion.

I still prefer going to school. nothing beats the wonderful experience that you get from school, interaction with people, the ups and downs and the fulfillment and failures, These things just teaches you how to be a strong and good student, and you can't learn it from studying at home.

I prefer the structure of a classroom. I'm not disciplined enough to study at home without having to go to lessons at a particular time. When I was a student, I managed to sit and study after class at home from the time I got in to the time I went to bed. Maybe I could manage it, but I like seeing my teachers face to face. I can ask questions that way. I'm the type that sits front row center. I must pay attention that way. There is nothing to distract me. Plus it would be embarrassing if my concentration wavered because I have that seat. Can't hide.

I don't have people to distract me, but I can always find something that needs doing. The cats will always need attention. Good thing I don't have TV to distract me.

Hi Amy.. I think studying in school is better than having classes in our homes. We are more focus on our academics in school with minimal distractions of household chores and non-school related activities. At the same time, studying in school is more conducive since it gives an environment for formal education.
Course facilitators and teachers are always present in school to guide us in our academics and make good lesson activities for us. This can be neglected in our homes because no teachers will be around to watch us and correct our shortcomings.

Definitely studying at school. Home-schooling is not the thing for me, I get bored easily. In school, you meet people, friends that makes it more exciting. Meeting and interacing with people teaches you a lot that can't be found in any lessons.

I prefer to get a degree in the school. Because getting a degree at home may not be qualified. Studying in the school is formal and you can get your certificate when you pass all the exams. There are some requirements.
I love China

HI.
Well, I still say my school times were the best!
But at those times, I think that what we really liked was school in general and not the studies. We had our friends, our games, our girlfriends, our extra-activities.
Nowadays, I prefer to study online. I can be listening to music while I study, I can go to the toilete without loosing important things, I can even eat while studying. I can study ate my own rythm. But one thing is for sure: We have to be very disciplined to do this, otherwise all day will be in messenger or mylot :p

I think studying at school is better then online. You get out of the house and make new friends. I also think you learn more by going to school and if you need help the instructor is there for you. Online you have to email and then wait until the instuctor has time to read your email which maybe a few days. It may not give you time to get the assignment in on time. And could me no grade on that assignment.

Hi amyson! I prefer studying in school because of the simple reason that I'd like to meet other people from different walks of life :) Schooling at home wouldn't allow me to socialize with other people. It'd only keep me confined in my own place and could cause me to be trapped in my "comfort zone". Aside from that important reason, I also like wearing uniforms :D

I am attending college online. I really like it. I can access the school anytime of day. I can set my own schedule for most things. I have attended school on-site in the past. That was different but also enjoyable. I have also attended school by phone and by television broadcast. I am able to learn in all environments. I like the variety of educational experiences I have had over the past 30 years. I try to learn something new each day.

In school you are exposed to so many things. Friends, knowing worldly things from them from talking to them, learning inter- personal relationships by way of moving with people, coming to know about people's different natures, attending to guest lectures, sports and above all learning to keep up time, there is no end for what we learn by attending school.

lesson by the way are very extensive in school and very interesting.you can force to study well because it enlivens the power of competition between both sexes.the advantages of it you can get enough ideas from your classmates in terms of discussion and projects.

I prefer a mixture of both things. Some years ago I took a course where I studied at home most of the time and spent 3 days a month at the school. It was the perfect solution for me, because I was very independent that way, and I had a job while I was studying. When I worked at night, I studied during that day, and when I worked during the day, I studied at night. I was able to plan everything on my own, and I loved the freedom that it gave me. I also enjoyed my days at the school, it was nice to chat to my friends and it was nice to meet the teachers in person instead of communicating with they via email like we did most of the time.

I agree to that.Being out of the house to attend school will let you explore and learn more things but you have to be very careful too in choosing your friends and path to go through.But if you know what your dreams are and purpose in life everything will be allright.
