Abstract

The article presents the opinions of families of online school students about the benefits of online education. In this sociological study, a survey of parents of students in grades 8-11 was conducted. The method of open questions and computer processing of the answers were used. The result of the analysis is a rating of the advantages of studying in Russian distance schools. Parents of children studying in online schools most highly value distance approach, safety, and digital educational technologies. These advantages optimize the study load, help to increase digital literacy and better pass final exams, and reduce everyday risks. Other positive aspects of online education for families of students are the individualization of the educational route of children, saving of health and family budget, and the possibility of increasing the volume of extracurricular activities. The findings can be used to develop measures to support domestic online schools, as well as for the development of digital educational technologies in secondary and higher education systems.
