text: However, there are many that support distance learning programs, citing that it would allow students to learn from anywhere in the world. While this may seem like a positive at first, learning from anywhere in the world is actually very detrimental. People tend to be more productive when they have a specific place to work (for example, a school) and a specific place to relax and enjoy (for example, a home). This is why people are more productive doing work at a desk as compared to doing work on a bed. Brick and mortar school provide this boundary by being physically separate from the home. When students come to school, they know that they should be in the mindset to learn. However, if one learns from home, they lack the boundary between a place to enjoy and a place to work. Potential consequences for this lack of boundary include constant procrastination and a decrease in productivity.
