text: Distance learning is a topic of debate today because it could have such an effect on how the new generations turn out and how they develop. Others should not allow distance schooling as it can cause many negative effects with children and teens. Distance learning could stunt the mental growth of many students as well as cause them to not be fully prepared with real word situations. Do not allow the new generation to be held back by something like distance learning tat could have been prevented.Summer project to assure students continue to learn is a great idea, the projects however, should be teacher-designed. A teachers job is to assure that the students are learning. The teachers meet all the criteria to design the project to be specific to what they are learning or will learn, educational, and a valuable learning experience. Students loose a lot of what the have learned during the school year, this makes summer projects important. When keeping up with skills acquired over the school year, teachers are more likely to design the summer project to be effective in keeping up with academic skills than students.
