Online classes are a benefit to some, but are they to all?

This article is about how some schools are allowing students take more online classes. It talks about a girl who is training to become a ballerina, so it's harder for her to take "normal" classes. According to the article, a quarter of a million students were enrolled online last year.

I am a supporter of online classes, obviously. When I was in highschool, I got behind a semester and also found out I was pregnant. I finished school at the alternative school, which had all online classes. It was so much easier for me. It also gave me time to get a job to support my daughter. I'm not supporting teen pregnancy, for the record, but it happens and we need to take care of our own children and not rely on others, so online classes helped me tremendously. Also, I have a phobia of large groups of people, if I don't know them. This is why I chose to do my basic studies online for college. I know eventually I will have to attend actual classes, but I will cross that bridge when I get there. 

One thing I am not too sure on, I don't know if I would have younger kids do online classes. I don't know how well some kindergarteners would handle the classes. My 1st grade daughter loves working on the computer, and it would give her a chance to do more work, since she is ahead of her class in most subjects. All in all, I am all for having more online classes for students.
