Chocolate or Vanilla?


Chocolate or Vanilla?
This remains one of those questions that will resonate throughout the ages. This reminds me of chocolate or vanilla? They're both classics and delicious. This concept can apply to the question of which one works better: traditional or online school? I have been on both sides of this question and I do not think one works better than the other. The majority of my classes have taken place in a traditional classroom. However, I have also taken a couple of online classes and I did enjoy them. It was a relief to just open up my laptop and go to class in pajamas. I did not have to get up earlier to get ready. I did not have to get gas or worry about parking. However, it was impersonal. I feel that I could not get the help from my instructors because they were not physically there. When I take traditional classes, I learn more effectively and get help. I think this debate depends on a student's life. For me, traditional school works better because I do not have many responsibilities at home. However, I have a friend who had her daughter when she was seventeen. She takes classes online because they fit with her life. I think of how everyone will not have the same opinion on this question, or the chocolate or vanilla question. Which proves more effective for students: traditional schooling or online schooling? I do not think that either one works better than the other. This answer remains up to the student and how they learn to the best of their abilities, so they can be the best of their abilities. After all, who could choose when it comes to chocolate or vanilla?
