One of the things that attracts many students to online school is the fact that they can complete their studies at their own pace, which it's about the fact that they work odd hours and maybe doing their class at 8 a.m. is more feasible or they work faster than most people and online school gives them the option to move as quickly or as slowly as they learn instead of staying at the pace set for their course. Learning at a personal pace is actually more beneficial for students, according to a 2009 Department of Education study, students in online courses scored slightly higher on exams and, on average, performed better than traditional students. Another advantage of online teaching is that it is more comfortable than traditional teaching. For traditional school, the student has to wake up and physically go to a school, whereas a student in an online school can log on to their laptop and do school in their pajamas and that doesn't have to be a problem. It doesn't matter because he's alone. So online, convenience-driven teaching definitely wins, hands-free
