text: Distance learning is one of the best tools that could be used for those who need it. Life is full of bumps and turns that some do not always expect. These bumps and turns can take students out of the classroom and cause them to fall behind their peers. Stress and loss of the drive to learn are linked, and can be seen in any classroom no matter where. Throughout the years, technology has grown and evolved. Instead of complaining about the evolution of technology, teachers and parents should be able to embrace it, and the tools that it brings students. Distance learning has many more benefits than downsides and downfalls. More schools should implement it, to adjust and accommodate to the students' needs, instead of the students having to adjust their needs for the school system.Students and teachers as well can all agree school tends to be very stressful. When summer comes along it gives everyone a opportunity to relax, put our stress from school aside, and just have fun during our break. On the other hand,not everyone gets to enjoy summer as much. Certain schools require students to complete a summer project to assure they continue learning during their break. The main debate is if these projects should be student-designed or teacher-designed.
