Is getting your high school diploma online tougher than going to high school?

How is it tougher?

Can you really work at your on pace?

How hours would you have to spend a day learning?

I took my HS education half online half in school, you learn more from the in school stuff, and self- motivation can be difficult.

If you want to do this just so you don’t have to go to school, its not worth it, but if its for medical reasons, then you can always try a class or two before starting a completely online program. Also, public school is free, online is not.

As far as at your own pace, you usually have six months to complete a class, but if your a good student and put in two hours per class per day you can finish up five classes in three and a half months.

My personal experiance was you had to put in about 6-8 hours a day give or take ( one to two hours per class) , but you always work at you own level, you dont have to worry about other kids pushing you too fast or holding you back.

P.S. Indiana University High School has an excellent online only program that colleges view as Honors level classes if you do decide that online is right for you. Good luck!

I’ve never done online schooling. But I didnt graduate from High school. I would say online would be harder because you have no motivation. High School is hard, no doubt.. But you have friends and “some” teachers to motivate you to be there.. You have no handson expierence. Even if it is just a math class. You may need those class desussions to get you through… You have no social life, you dont get to see your friends on a regular basis. No sports, you can attend, but you cant play them… Going to school sucks ***. But its defenetly better than online.

It depends on the course, I personally found online courses to be fairly easy compare to actual lectures. It is more convenient, however, if you are having difficulty in an assignment or in the course itself, you’ll have to get in touch with your professor and that could take up to 24 hours.

If you need an online degree, you are headed to the life of a total, entire, nobody.
