For a few months in America was an unusual school project. In one school the pupils hadn't to go to school. They stayed at home and did their schoolwork at their computer. This was enough stuff for a big discussion all over America. But before you should make you your opinion about this, think about the advantages and disadvantages of it. Here are some of them.
Firstly there should be said that pupils can concentrate better if they are alone for their computers because then it is very quiet and nothing can disturb them. So they can do their work very exactly.
Besides they can take breaks between the exercises whenever they need one. And if they do that, they can learn better. And if a pupil doesn't understand something, he can write an e-mail to a teacher.
But there are also many disadvantages. Many pupils who don't like learning and working on their own won't do their work very good. They don't take it so serious as they have to do or they search the answers in the internet.
And pupils can meet other pupils in the afternoon or in the evening and do all their work together and never alone. But than later they won't be able to do anything by themselves and they won't be good in their jobs, but it is the task of the school to prepare pupils for the life, and the life is also a good job.
Another point to add is the fact that in school you meet you friends, and if you do your work alone at home you see them less than now. Yes, you can meet them in the afternoon when you are ready with your work, but you won't see the pupils in your class with who you aren't together in the afternoon.
These are only a few of the advantages and disadvantages about this topic. Now you can make you your own opinion about it. In my opinion this idea is a very good one, but one time per week pupils should go to school so that the teachers can control if they did all of the schoolwork they should do that week.
