With the rise in gas prices and the ever-increasing costs of daily provisions, a vast number of students this year have decided to drop out of school to put up with their finances, while teachers are turning to other professions for better income opportunities. Reaching school on time, attending regular classes and then going to work has caused numerous problems for our teenagers and the only option they find suitable is to drop out of school. This is a problem which can seriously affect the future of our country, hence it requires immediate attention.

Upon realization that drop-out rates are increasing gradually, educators across the nation have decided to turn to online education to secure the future of the teenagers of the United States of America, as well as individuals associated with the field of teaching. For this reason, more and more colleges and universities are now offering accredited distance education courses.

In states such as Mississippi, where people are struggling to maintain a normal lifestyle, merely 17% of citizens are said to have a bachelor’s degree. In this regard, providing online education to the people living in such poverty-ridden states can turn out to be rather helpful. How? Well, first of all comes the fact that distance education programs are rather flexible, so individuals who enroll in online colleges and universities can easily juggle work and education. With the implication of online learning, drop-out rates are expected to lower down, as distance learning would not require students to commute to campus and they can acquire education by simply logging on to the Internet whenever they are free. It is anticipated that students who dropped-out earlier, might go back to school through eLearning and actually graduate!

Secondly, teachers engaged in teaching online classes do not always have to be present at a particular place at fixed timings, so even they can balance their lifestyles and take up other jobs at the same time if they believe that they are not being paid well. This leads us to the fact that teachers across the nation can be available to teach online, which might make up for job opportunities for educators.

It is hoped, by educators and parents across the nation that technological advances such as eLearning would rescue the conventional education system of America and consequently save the future of our teenagers and the nation at large.

We Americans are a celebrity obsessed race. Last night I was surfing the internet and found something that will certainly pump you guys up for no reason whatsoever. It’s just that “feel good” factor. When you unexpectedly find yourself having something in common with your favorite celebrity, you feel ecstatic, don’t you? But I don’t, I feel uncomfortable, I blush out of inflated pride (ohh my good God!).
Last night I found out I stand in line with Shaq, Hillary Duff, and Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jennifer Love Hewitt…
Man!
Such cool bits of knowledge genuinely charge me up and make me feel on top of the world, as if I was close to wining an Oscar nomination. I am so inspired, so taken-in by my decision to take the online route for education that I doubled my effort, my hard work to score high so that I can later brag about it. That’s precisely what celebrity syndrome does.

All these shining stars of Hollywood (Shaq included) have spent sometimes of their ultra precious lives as online students at some of the leading online schools in the country , in other words they lived like us (humans, and not stars) for a few hours! I am sure you understand it’s no small achievement for us.

While browsing over the internet, I found out that Shaq, that 7 foot-something giant completed his MBA from University of Phoenix in 2005 and said it “solidifies” that he is a “businessman”, and Hilary Duff is studying currently at Harvard Extension School. Arnold the hunk and now the Governor of California finished his Bachelors in International Marketing and Business from Wisconsin-Superior in 1979. And Jennifer Love Hewitt, the Sarah Jeeves of Party of Five at Fox completed her high school through a corresponding course.

I was wondering, what difference did it make to them? Say if Shaquille O’Neil the millionaire slam-dunker had never got himself an online degree, what would have happened? Did it change his life? I don’t think apparently it did. But perhaps there is something he gained out of that ‘piece of paper’ that he claims would solidify his stature as a businessman, which we mortal living hand-to-mouth people would never get to know. We can only guess – bigwigs weave big dreams and make big plans. So there is no point in trying to figure out what they gained out of it, just be happy about the fact we are in the same club!
