There are huge disadvantages with online education. School is not only there to teach you subjects. School also helps you develop social skills. You learn how to interact with other people in your classes and during lunch. This will also be important for you when you are done with your education and get a job. You will have to meet people at your work and here your social skills from school are important. Another disadvantage of online education is that you don't learn how to meet at time. This might sound stupid but it is actually true. When you go to school, you learn how to wake up early in the morning and get ready for school. You learn how to get to school in time so you won't get late. This is extremely important for your job when you are done with your education. You cannot get late for work or else you get fired. If you don't learn how not to get late during school then this might become a problem for you when you get a job.

I think online education is better for some people but I wouldn't be suprised if most prefered or did better in classes (it depends on the person)...I personally like to learn with the teacher there so I can ask the questions directly when I need to...but I'm assuming with online classes they make ways for contact with teacher incase of questions etc. With online classes it's usually more convenient because you don't have to get dressed, drive to class and you can go more at your own pace. But being in class everything is more direct and for people like me it's a bit easier.
