Online Education is the Safest Place to Earn a Degree Today, Maybe?

Online education is the safest place to study today, maybe?

With today's massacres and tragedies existing, online education seems like the safest place to study/learn and earn a degree.

We are all aware that online education is not for everyone. Those who study online are more fulltime workers, and/or full time parents. Young students that graduate from high school want to experience what's it like to be on your own and prefer to attend a college campus with all the parties, social life, and adventure that exist. However with the school shootings that have been existing, is it safer to prefer online studying?

Do you think that the percentage of students earning a degree online will increase because it's the safest place to earn a degree now?

Will parents feel a sense of relief if their child studies online?

What about sports, social lives, being on your own? How will that affect those that dream of leaving to college and being away from home?

There seems to be a lot of unanswered questions and decisions to make. These massacres are leaving many very afraid and indecisive as to what direction to take when it comes to education. It seems unfair that kids today feel very unsafe within the only place they rely on when it comes to accomplishing and achieving their personal and professional goals.

Gun control is a very important subject being discussed today. However the discussion in the past, as well as presently, have not been enough to eliminate the existing tragedies, or have yet reinforce a better way to decrease the purchasing of guns by individuals who are harming many others for unforgiving reasons. What will it take to decrease these horrible tragedies from existing? At this point, many just can't answer that, or can't find the correct answer to that question. What will it take for our children to feel safe going to school? We can't isolate the children from going to school because that can affect them tremendously. Online school is for adults that choose to attend school online, not for college kids who want to experience the college life.
