  4. Pros for Virtual Learning Cyber education has many other advantages: • It permits students in small, rural, or low-wealth school districts to take specialized courses that would ordinarily not be available to them. • It provides home schooled students with instruction in subjects their parents might not be able to teach, such as foreign languages or computer skills. • It meets the needs of school phobics, those in hospitals or recovering at home, dropouts who would like to get back in, expelled students, single parents, and students in other states or even other countries looking for nontraditional educational solutions. • And, in an age when many of our schools are overcrowded or crumbling, cyber learning makes financial sense, too, because schools using distance learning do not need to modernize or build new buildings in order to provide quality cyber instruction.
