Cyber schools, also known as virtual schools, provide education delivered electronically that separates the teacher and student by time or space. The roles of the student, parent, and teacher in online education involve the student being self-directed, the parent serving as a learning coach to supervise and support, and the teacher creating the learning environment and providing instruction and feedback. Cyber schools offer flexible learning, individualized instruction to benefit different learning styles and needs, and the ability to learn with students from various locations. However, virtual education also presents disadvantages like requiring self-discipline from students, specialized skills from teachers, and lacking social activities compared to traditional schools.
