Public schools have been reluctant to fully embrace Online Educational Software for a number of reasons. Mainly because the Online Classroom Systems have just recently become sophisticated enough to give the students a fully immersive educational experience. But another reason might be that the schools only see the initial expense of instituting the Virtual School and are not aware of the benefits that Virtual Classrooms can offer to them over the brick and mortar system. Here are a few of the many reasons that you may want to become a Virtual School:

· Traditionally a schools growth has been limited by its geographic area. There are a finite number of children within an easy commute to the school so once you have enrolled them all then your school will stop growing. Online Classroom Systems do not have that limitation and Virtual Schools can expand as far as they feel comfortable with going. Many schools of this type have students enrolled from countries around the world.

· Using Online Educational Software allows the students to be more productive with their time. In a typical day a student has to drive or be driven to and from school and find something to do with the time between classes which can be substantial. With Online Classroom Systems there is not any wasted time so the student can finish their school work and use the extra time to have fun and follow other interests.

· Virtual Schools do not have to worry about the overhead that a standard school would. They do not need the safety officers, janitors, lunch room attendants and other personnel that a brick and mortar school would. They do not even need to have a campus which is where most of the money for a school is invested.

· The administrators of Virtual Classrooms have a greater ability to monitor and interact with the students. It is easy to track the students and see who has been attending the classes and who has not. They can tell which students are struggling and need a little extra help. Online classroom Systems prevent children from falling through the cracks and when you need to alert the parents to a child’s behavior, you have the data logs as proof and a much needed backup.

· One of the biggest benefits of Virtual Classrooms is how easy it makes the process of learning. All of your notes, research material, study groups and lectures are accessible within the Online Educational Software so when it comes time to study for a test, the students are fully prepared.
