Last summer my son, Eric, left for university in another country. Our once lively house became quiet and _____. I missed him so much that I started sending him messages on the phone, mainly to say _____ or to give him a word of warning.

One of my messages says, “So you told me you _____ your credit card(信用卡). If you don’t try hard to mend your careless ways, one day you’ll _____ and find your brain missing.”

I did get Eric's messages, but most of them were about _____. They were no different from the notes he used to leave _____ the white board when he was at home.

“I bought a new pair of shoes. They cost me $90. Please help!”

“Money is running short _____ I’ve bought some books for my research paper. Help me please!”

_____, however, Eric begins to send me all kinds of articles: some funny, some touching and some worth _____. He says they will help me understand young men better and keep up with the times.

I read the articles slowly, like a ______ student, with mixed feelings as well—my kid, who followed me around not long ago, has now become my ______.

So I write back. “I’ve read all those articles. I’ll take ______ as a loving son’s expectations towards his mother. He must be thinking that his mother is still ______ enough to accept new things. That makes me feel proud. What we parents lack(缺乏) most is the ability to learn and ______, in both body and mind. Thank you, my son.”

In this way we share ideas and ______ each other, with a gentle and beautiful language we seldom use. Every time I read those messages, I feel my heart filled with warmth.

Online schools are becoming very popular with many people today. And now, even common students are going in for online education, as it leaves them with enough time to do other things, such as a part-time job or a hobby, along with studying. However, as with everything, there are two sides about online schooling.

Let’s start with the good side. Online schools cost very little. You don’t have to spend money on books, or bus tickets. Also, since you can work along with studying at an online school, you would not need to take an education loan (貸款). Another advantage of going to school online is the freedom it provides. You can study wherever you want—in your house, at a café or even in a park. Some people who want to study further, now no longer have to take a break in their jobs, thanks to online schools.

However, those students who often need a push from their teachers to do well have a very high chance of not doing well at online schools. When studying in a class, different topics(話題) in a given subject are discussed and different students give their points of view. This is something that online schooling cannot provide.

Also, there are many employers(雇主) who like students with a traditional degree(學(xué)位) better than those who have an online degree. The employers feel that students who go to full-time colleges have more knowledge than those who have online degrees.

In general, it can be said online schools are good for some, while others should give them up! A person should see the situation he is in and then decide whether or not to choose an online school.

Are online schools a good idea?
