Today,
numerous students throughout the world spend countless hours staring at a
computer screen, television, cellular device, and other technologies. Due to
this fact, traditional schooling is much more beneficial to students lives.
With the increase of social networking on websites such as Twitter and
Facebook, it is almost impossible for students to stay on task while at the
computer.
With
online schooling, these addicting websites are just a click away. With the
temptation of checking your Facebook at your fingertips, makes learning more
difficult do to distractions. Not only will you be checking these websites, you
will be thinking about checking them instead of comprehending the material you
are being taught. Along with disrupting your thought process and learning,
staring at a screen cannot be beneficial to your eyes. Sooner or later, your
vision will begin to ware and headaches could occur. It is clear that online
schooling would decrease your learning abilities.
Traditional
schooling is more beneficial to students because there are less distractions
and more encouragement. In a typical classroom, students do not have their
computer out in front of them; students’ have a pencil, paper, a teacher,
peers, and other hands-on materials. In a traditional classroom your teacher is
encouraging you to learn as well as your peers helping you understand the
material. Physically taking notes keeps your mind off of social media and
causes your brain to interact with the information you are learning.
Apple
products, video games, cellular devices, and computers have not become a
recreation for teens; they have become a part of daily life. Interacting with
peers and teachers should not be done through the Internet. Classrooms get students
away from computers and into their notebooks. Traditional schooling is the most
effective way for technologically savvy students to learn.
