There are many pros and cons that come with online classes. Taking online classes are really beneficial for not only the student, but the teacher as well. You’re able to complete the assignments on your own time. I think online classes can eliminate some inequality in the school districts. For example if one school is equipped with very well experienced teachers and another school, teaching the same class, has not as well developed teachers: In this case an online class would help give students and the school district and equal opportunity to succeed. Every school district is different and not always at the same level. By having online classes, it ensures that everyone is on the same page and receiving the same base curriculum. Online classes ensure equality in a course sense, but not in an outcome sense. Just because you have the same curriculum in every district doesn’t mean each school will have the same performance. Every student learns differently, so online classes might not be the best for everyone. You’ll always have a variation in the success of your students, so some districts will always be above others. When offering the same class in the same environment ensures the equality that most schools are looking for.
I never thought of the inequality being between school districts. I think it is important to realize that online classes will not completely eliminate inequality though.
