text: Another thing distance learning enables is that it allows students to falsely claim that they understand material when in reality they don't due to boredom. Not only does distance learning threaten integrity, it also hurts one's ability to fully grasp the material being taught. Youths possess a short attention span, and if not entertained or immersed in what is being taught, they will slip into boredom easily and will do whatever it takes to be done of it. For example, when I used to be a Quran student, I had to video conference my Quran teacher on Skype every Sunday and they would listen to me recite a memorized surah or prayer in the Quran. At first my interest was piqued, my knowledge of my religion would be increased, but soon it became a chore. Something I loved doing became something expected of me and mistakes were looked down upon, not learned from. So I would cheat. I'd look up the Quran part I'd have to memorize and say it out loud to my teacher and I was met with praises. My three hour sessions were cut to two due to my proficiency and soon I was done with it. If I were to be taught one on one, I would've excelled and would've delivered my best rather than taking the easy way out. By allowing students to learn at home, they will have their integrity threatened and their interest diminished due to tediousness.
