Season 2, Episode 9 - Full-time schooling to UK Virtual School - Why I prefer learning from home
On this episode, you'll hear from Iokasti, a student from UK Virtual School who recently joined the Youth Council.
Iokasti chats with Syd about why she believes online schooling is better than regular schooling at a 'state school', and why her first term has her excited about the future.
Here are 3 reasons why Iokasti loves this way of schooling:
➡ There's less stress on the students when it comes to work, commuting and much more.
➡ It's a different way of learning, and a more comfortable one. She's much happier and secure at home and in her own familiar space. Kids need to feel secure and safe to learn effectively.
➡ UKVS class sizes are smaller, meaning that teachers can interact with each child more efficiently.
