Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for You



Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for You
Part 2
Positive aspects of distance education
·       Independence and time management: taking courses online lets you hone your ability to work on your own. You also gain experience in managing your time efficiently.
·       A flexible schedule: school can only provide a certain number of class periods in a single school day, and there may not be enough time for you to take everything you want. Because distance education lets you take classes outside regular school hours, it gives you the flexibility to explore all your areas of interest.
·       Advanced and specialized classes: some school can’t provide advanced and specialized classes. Distance education gives you the chance to gain experience in areas that would otherwise remain out of reach.

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work



Balancing High School and Part-Time Work
Additional Tips
Although working and going to school 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 your time efficiently.  You 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 schoolwork.
·       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 thing you might 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. Everyone needs some down time to stay happy and healthy

Brad MacGowan, of the Career Center at Newton North High shoal in Massachusetts, thinks that working can be a valuable part of a student’s life. If taken on responsibility. “You can derive a great deal from working, considerably more than just money,” he says. “In most cases, you can acquire a nice doe of discipline and a whole new set of skills and experiences. “In addition, your supervisor may be willing to write a strong college recommendation for you.
School comes first Schoolwork, including homework and studying for test, should always be your priority. MacGowan caution students who do decide to work, “if you are rushing through you assignment… or not studying enough for test because of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and fine a less time—consuming  job.”
