text: Some may argue that if students were able to attend classes from home it would not benefit them since they would not be receiving the constant guidance and help that they would from a teacher in a classroom. With less frequent guidance from a teacher in a classroom, students would have to work independently more often. However, having to work independently would ultimately benefit students because it would cause them to become more responsible. Students would have to be responsible for completing their classes at home on their own time. Although students would be more independent with distance learning, they would still have a teacher for their online class that they could contact about questions they have from home. While not being in a classroom with a teacher may be a change that would take time for some students to get used to, it would not be an issue for some. Not every student needs as much assistance as others, some are quick learners that would rather learn at their own pace without a teacher helping them along every step. If students were able to choose distance learning, it would benefit them by influencing them to take on responsibility through more independent learning and working at their own pace.
