Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for You?

                                Part 1

You may want to take a class that your high school doesn’t offer. Under some circumstance, you can still enroll in the class- through distance learning.

Distance education means taking a class without being physically present where it is being taught. Internet- based technology lets students participate in lectures and class session online from almost anywhere.

Some high schools agree to recognize distance- learning credits when they don’t have the resources to offer a course themselves. Distance education is often used to increase options in rural areas and for AP® courses. For you, it  might mean doing self-tutorial at home in the evening, or participating in class that is 1,000 miles away, long with others high schools students. Check with your school counselor to see what’s available.

Student Success Statement

                                                              
“ You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.”

                             Rosa Parks                                                                 

Reflection:
What this statement probably means is that there is nothing scary about doing what's right. In other words, you shouldn't be scared to to do what's right. For example, if you accidentally forgot your homework, don't panic and lie to the teacher about it, instead be brave and tell the truth just as conscience tells you to and you won't have to worry about a harsh punishment when you know that you did the right thing.

 Additional Tips

Although working and going to schools is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make the most of your time:

·       Discuss your plans with your family. Balancing the demands of school and work is easier with their support.

·       Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately.

·       Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.

·       Use you time efficiently. You can use 10 minutes waiting in a line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of down time and your boss has no objection, you can use slow periods to do school work.

·       If you commute to your job on public transportation bring your schoolwork with you so you can work along the way.

·       Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on some other things you’d like to do because of your school and work commitments.

·       If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as needed.

·       Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some downtime to stay happy and healthy.

She is happy to have received these five medals ,but she has a dark secret on how she won these five medals which has led to her great fall from the Olympic podium to a prison. She had cheated to get these medals. When she was in the federal courthouse she admitted to everyone that she cheated to get the she has and when she did, she had to be thrown in prison.

He reminds students that “the activities and courses students choose vary considerably, so it’s important for young people to keep their individual situations clearly in mind.” McGowan continues, “ for example , students actors should allow for the fact that they won’t have as much time during performance seasons. Students athletes need to remember the time of the year that they’ll be tired up with games and practice. other students who are in classes that make considerable demands outside of the classroom much keep that reality in mind’’
