Children who have very little or no contact with other children their age can have serious developmental problems. If a child is constantly surrounded by adults, they cannot develop at the "normal" pace. Often, children miss the stage of being children and jump to the mindset of an adult way to early and that can have serious effects on them later in life.Samantha Calhounhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05079012622969048406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659129692311420485.post-3751791292615551662010-08-30T14:29:00.460-05:002010-08-30T14:29:00.460-05:00The idea of a virtual school is very new to me as ...The idea of a virtual school is very new to me as well.

Actually, I am really interested to hear what the perceived advantages of an online school are in the first place? It seems to me that there are more obvious disadvantages than advantages...liz exohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01607112081860319175noreply@blogger.com
