Everyone please write a main body paragraph of your letter to the editor here :)]]> 2019-02-20 07:10:09 UTC https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333060319 Anthony chan https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333077835 firstly，I believe that online school may benefits many students because they are not affected by their geogrephical location，people living far away will not be late because of their living place. Students can stay at home so that they can have more time to prepare for their lessons. In addition，online lesson give a equalty to every students and also the disable.Moreover，some students living in the country are haveing war，they dont need to worry about their safety for travelling to school because they are having lesson in their home]]> 2019-02-20 08:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333077835 Antonette(oppose) https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333109020
Firstly, the online school may weaken the communication skills of students.As the online schools having lessons via computers, students and teachers cannot have face-to-face communication.Because of this, students become less skilled at communicating with others.When they are talking to others, they may easy to be nervous.Some of them even can‘t speak fluently to the others.This may seriously affect their future career.As they can not communicate with other naturally,the choices of jobs are limited.For instance, they are difficult to become a salesman, a teacher or a social worker.In short, online education may weaken the communication and social skills of students, thus their choices of future career will be reduced.

First of all,online schooling can’t help us develop value for us,because those are learned from our school experience.Moreover,online schooling doesn’t provide any face-to-face chances or sport activities for the students.As a result,it harder to build up the positive values such as trust,respect and empathy also the team spirit.
Firstly,Public School actually develop our positive values via some group activities and class competition,it always boost student work together start to gel so that it can build up their team sprite.Not only this,students can see people’s different via cooperation because it makes us understand not everyone is perfect so we know how to respect others.
In fact,Values are important because they help us to make every single decision.Society has a lot violent and unfair,if the teenagers carry on the positive in the society,the world will become peaceful

Online teaching reduce students’ chance of face-to-face, this will lead to students may not know how to read others facial or body expressions as they have less time to stay with other. What’s more, social skills are important for students as they can help teenagers to develop a right value.

However, online schooling do not have teachers to help nearby. As a result, students may not get enough support from teachers while studying and may not be able to fully understand what the teachers taught. ]]> 2019-02-20 11:04:25 UTC https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333121209 Martina https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333121259 First and foremost, I believe that online schools may not benefits students. On the contrary, it may weaken their concentration skills. As with the online school students can study at home, they do not have to follow rules or to have sfecified acts. They can do whether they want while they are attending the virtual lesson; they can even eat or play with their mobile phone without any fear of being discovered and punished. In addition, they have to do an independent work without receiving any encouragement or face-to-face confrontation with their teachers or even with their classmates.
In short, attending online schools may cause the concentration level of students to fall, with consequences also in their final academic results.]]> 2019-02-20 11:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333121259 Cindy (opposes) https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333124527 Firstly, I think students might distracted by other things other than the lesson. In my point of view, some students cannot focus on studying while using their computer. For example, they might be distracted by computer games, videos or anything else. This lower the learning  attitude of students and when they’re having quizzes or exam, they might get bad results.
In addition, when they get distracted by something and the results become worse, they cannot find a job later easily. Many jobs required concentrated people, after students form a habit of being lazy and easily get distracted by others because of using online school, the boss wouldn’t appreciate that. Students would finally lose their chance to work and become more difficult to find a job. 
In a small conclusion, online school doesn’t benefit student in study and also the future.

As studying at a school in reality we will have face-to-face communication with others. However, studying in online school will communicate with other via internet. As a result, students will not care about or focus on face-to-face communication skills and they may get a problem of talking with other in a long term. Besides, it is affecting their future careers. When you are getting a job, you will have an interview and it requires interviewee's spot reaction skills. Students studying in online school may not develop the skill since they can think twice before replying others on the internet. On the contrary, students are required to response other immediately when they are in reality. They have to get attention of their tone, body gesture or facial expression but these will not be shown in internet. Students may not know how to express themselves through body language or do not understand other via their tone. In short, online school hinder student's
communication skills.]]> 2019-02-20 11:17:43 UTC https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333124819 Jackie(oppose) https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333131102 First and foremost, I believe that online teaching may weaken student’s social skills. Developing social skills are important because students can present themselves through well social skills. However, when students are having online teaching, they will have less chances to have face-to-face communication, which means that students cannot see others’ facial and body expressions. What’s more, students may not know how to express what they want to show. In short, through online teaching, social skills of students may be weaken because they have less time to communicate with people in reality.]]> 2019-02-20 11:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333131102 https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333131742 Nicole  (oppose)
  Firstly, online schooling will weaken student’s communication skill. As online school do not need face to face communication ,students would just have to share their opinions and discuss online . All they have to face to is only a computer . This makes them can not read people’s facial expression ,do not understand people’s tone and can not distinguish people’s emotions . Lack of communication skill will cause them trouble when developing interpersonal relationships ,they may easily have conflict with others and may find themselves difficult to make friends. They may even feel themselves being isolated and hence lower their self esteem. In short,online schooling will hinder student’s communication skills and affect their interpersonal relationship.

It is the most obvious drawback of online schools. If we study in an online school, there will be only little or no face-to-face interaction with teachers and other students in the class. The interaction between students and teachers cannot be overlooked. For instance, when a teacher is teaching in front of you, he cans observe your body language to make sure that you are focusing in class. He cans also know that the student is interested in which particular subjects. Furthermore, a real teacher can catch students attention easily by using the direct contact. Teachers are difficult to do this in the internet. In short, students will have less chance to communicate with teachers. It is better for students to go back to traditional school. ]]> 2019-02-20 11:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333132115 Jeffrey(oppose) https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333136804 First and foremost, online schooling is not all-rounded. It cannot help students to have a all-round development.
In terms of academic development, some lessons cannot be included. For example, you cannot how to do a complicated experiment during online learning. Since there maybe some observation we need to do during the experiment . For example, you may need to smell the gas between the reaction of gases. As you see, students cannot learn in a all-round way. Traditional schooling still has its existential value. 
On the other hand, online learning cannot input correct value to students. As teacher cannot know how students preform when they are at home. Online learning just focuses on students’ academic performance. If students’ parents do not have a good parenting method, student will have a wrong value. Value is a “judger” of what students do. If students have awrong  value they may do things wrong easily]]> 2019-02-20 12:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333136804 Lolita (For) https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333138107 First, I believe that online schools benefit students by saving their time.  As with the online school, students can study at home, they do not have to spend time going to school and home. All they have to do is to turn on their electron devices and learn immediately. Also, they can decide when they want to attend the virtual lessons so the timetable is very flexible. They can study at their own paces and will not get hindered by the others. In addition, they can attend some lessons that are designed by other countries without flying there. It saves their travel time. If the students get hungry, they can have their meal while having the lesson. So they do not have to spend extra time and will not be distracted by hunger. To sum up, online school is time-saving, therefore, it is convenience for the students.]]> 2019-02-20 12:11:46 UTC https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333138107 Eric(against) https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333144993 First and foremost ,I believe that online schooling bring a negative effecct on student's moral development.Students belong to the stage that finding their own position.They need a role model to learn the good behaviour and correct values which help them to distinguish what is right and wrong.Teacher is a good choose for them.However,there are no face-to-face teacher in online school.Thus,when the students have dome miss behaviour ,they can not point out it immediately which cause them continued to do such thing.It will hinder their moral development]]> 2019-02-20 12:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333144993 Tom suen(support) https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333146521 Firstly, learning through online school make us more focus in class.As we need to have lessons with many other classmates and meet them face to face when we go to school in reality , some talkative and disturbing classmates may disturb others through talking to them frequently and creating irritating noises during lessons. Therefore, students may get distracted and can't be focus in class. On the contrary, online schools can avoid the problem above since we can learn through virtual classrooms and won't get disturbed or distracted because of others behavior. In short, online schools is beneficial to students.]]> 2019-02-20 12:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333146521 Happy Li😁 (For https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333147922 Firstly, I believe that online school can be more cheaper than traditional school . On the one hand ,study online can save our money to buy books and stationery . We can just download books online and study . Moreover, we can obtain more knowledge easily online because we can download many different kinds of books online and reading ,it can save our time and money on buying it . Also , online school can use e-books teaching to avoid use large amount of paper ,it can also save our money from buying paper. However , on the other hand , in building traditional school need to spend a large amount of money . It also need to build many school in different area to ensure every student have school to study .It may spend a lot of money on it . Thus, I think online school is more cheaper than traditional school

As the class will take place on the internet and students will never meet their teachers face-to-face. So the teacher cannot point out their bad behaviour immediately. Then the students will never know their mistakes and keep doing it. Moreover, students will not have a good role model to learn from. Since the teachers will only teach online,they may not teach students some basic morals . Such as say thank you when you are receiving gifts or say sorry after you hurt others . Besides,students and teachers will not have any interaction in their real life . Students may not know teachers’ good behaviour and learn from them. ]]> 2019-02-20 13:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333150997 Nancy^_^ https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333155502 Thesaurus

Nowadays, there are lots of temptations on the internet that teenagers would find hard to resist, such as online games and social media sites. Not every student has self-discipline. Being curious, they may surf the internet for too long and get distracted during the online lessons. Hence, it is not easy for students to stay focused.

To begin with , a few apprehensions have been raised that the implementation of virtual schooling would result in exacerbation of educational standard . It goes without saying that every child are devoid of maturity and self-discipline , thus the majority of school kids in each school are supposedly being abstracted during lessons . It is difficult , if not impossible for a teacher to monitor every student and prohibit them from playing their mobile under the desk during a tedious lesson , let alone an online lesson without any supervision of adults . It is crystal clear that more and more students will inevitable be absent-minded during dull online courses . With student’s inattention in learning , rarely will they study hard and care about their academic performance . Therefore , the introduction online schooling will probably exasperate the standard of our educational outcomes .

Grassroot can't afford the money to buy it. Secondly Chinese people have traditions to have class in live, real school, as to learning and develop moral skills and respect skills to the teacher. Online school violate Chinese thinkings. As me I am a Chinese, I totally disaprove with it. It hurt eye too. Money of doctoring is expensive. Grassrot can't afford. It gives light pollutions too. It also give a sense to student to support AI. AI is terrible, it could contol people. Mcdonald's use AI and it will have great unemployment in future. So we rather unenvironmenttallyfriendly, using books, and increase job opportunities. Lastly the teacher in electronic can't follow your schedule. You can't get help even you want to. But live teacher could help with your problem every timely. More, the comment inside the online school cause internet addiction and internet bullying. Teacher and student will get sad. Some of them even want revenage and kill others.

All the classes will take place on the internet so it can reduce the traffic time you need. Moreover, the learning time of online schools are flexible as you can have the lesson any time you want but it is fixed in the traditional schools. 
In addition, online schools are more effective. As students can stay at home to learn ,they will have more time to prepare for the lesson. If they do not understand the lesson, they can also watch the video again and again in order to clear up the confusion. However, it is not possible in traditional school.

In my opinion,I believe that the online studying would cause tge lack of communication skills. The social skills are important because we can use all those social skills which we have learnt at the school. In the traditional education,students can communicate with their friends face-to-face so that they can strengthen the communication skills. However,when they are having online lessons,it may reduce the chances for students to communicate with each other. It will lead to the low adversity quotient and easily have conflicts with each other]]> 2019-02-20 14:07:14 UTC https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333175915 Catrina(oppose) https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333179579 For my point of view,online schools will affect students health.As online school need student to keep using computer to have lesson,student will have to keep watching the computer screen for a long time.It will cause students having eye discomfort,eyelids,vision blurring or even short sight.Also,keep a fixed posture to use computer for a long time may cause muscle overwork and ache.If student have a incorrect sitting position,they will have a high probability of suffering from cervical spondylosis and lumbar disc herniation.Therefore,it is better to let student go to traditional schools.]]> 2019-02-20 14:15:17 UTC https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333179579 Kelly(support) https://padlet.com/choiwy/4B_writing6/wish/333185683 Firstly, online school may be a good way to make students fall in love with learning by having fully energy. Most of the modern students would not like to wake up so early for attending school, they would think it’s a torment for them if they concentrate on the class in a  whole day. Thus, online school could help them to avoid late and fatigue, they could save the time of tidying up themselves, gain their mental support on study and invent the happiness with study. In addiction, I believed that online school can definitely save students burden on transportation, some of students are living far away from school, so that they have to spend much time on transport. Besides, it always be very busy in the morning so online school will  not needed to squeeze oneself up into the public transport. Even though, online school will reduce the chance to communicate will others ‘face-by-face’.However, online school may can meet more friends on the internet like combining the online classes with various schools. As a result, online school is more feasible and suitable than traditional.

Online school's students will just sit in front of the computer at home and listen to the boring video only but lack of communication with teachers and their classmates. As time passes, they will lost their interest to talk instead of looking at the computer screen. They will resist to have face-to-face communication with others because they had already been addicted into the online chatting since they need to ask questions of their homework to teachers through web chat. What's more, it will zoom out students' social circle because online chatting will pull distance from our friends as we do not have face to face connection with them. We cannot know their emotions from their face so that we may offend the others easily under a misunderstanding situation.

Having lessons online, student would have fewer opportunity to communicate with others face-to-face. Students may not have the communication skill such as understanding others meaning by their facial expression or body language. Since human is living as a group, communication is necessary and important. Conflicts may occur and lead to worse interpersonal relationship because of poor communication skill. What's more, communication skill affect not only development of interpersonal relationship but also personal development. Poor communication skill may cause different failures in life. 
When they grow up, they may need to have interview to apply for career. They may not pass the interview because they do not have the skill to express their mind completely.

Student do not need to get up so early in the morning and have more time to do other things,It will improve the mentality of student when they are having the lessons and can use the extra time to prepare for the lesson.
Secondly,online studying let student study something not common in Hong Kong. If a student want to study French but there is no good teacher in Hong Kong can teach him French. Normally, there is only two way two solve this problem,let the student go to France to study abroad or ask somebody to come to Hong Kong to teach him French.
