Andres Yacelga Grammar 3 November 24, 2009  Face-to-Face Education vs. On-Line Education Would a change to only online education be beneficial for the students? Students have been educated in the classic way (face to face) for centuries and it gets excellent results. The modern civilization is a product of it. The online system is a revolutionary option, which all learning takes place on computers. So is it really necessary to change a method that works very well? I think the American system should not move toward an online education because it still hasn’t been tested. In addition, this futuristic model of learning doesn’t look like a very communicative system. Meanwhile the face to face classroom model has showed be interactive because it promotes social skills, responsibility and learning.

The United States should keep the face to face education since it would develop social skills by helping the students to make friends. This point is very important for the feeling of being part of a community is naturally in people. Sometimes when students participate in groups or clubs build strong relationships with other students and it makes them act responsibly. It would create a sense of community through that they learn to interact socially with other people. It is an important ability for their future professional life.

The American system should still be the face to face model of classroom because it encourages responsibility providing a better environment for learning. A classroom gives to the students the message that they are in a special place to learn. The students have to pay attention to their classes then they should hear the information and understand it. In their homes, students can get distracted easily with things like TV, telephone, doorbell, music or people at the house among others. So it's very important that the students have a good place in which they can concentrate for their studies.

Some people may think that online education is a good system for the reason that it permits the students to learn easily. Using computers at home facilitates direct and quick communication between students and teachers. This is a very respectable opinion. However, the computer is just a tool which cannot replace the fact that the students can interact and learn with other students and teachers thereby improving learning. This makes them more responsible with their tasks. It's important to remember that in the classroom they learn knowledge and rules of togetherness which sometimes students don't receive at their homes. Moreover the students always can use online education like a way to complete their formal education (face to face).

To summarize, the online education is not a really benefit for the students. With the passage of time the face to face education has proved to be successful. In other words, the traditional method of education stimulates interaction in the students which is very good for them. The US system should think more about it in order to benefit both the students and society as a whole.
