text: It can be argued that students do benefit from being able to attend classes from home because they can learn in a more comfortable setting where they would face less peer pressure. However, the weakness in that argument is that students tend to become more lazy and less focused when learning in a more comfortable setting. By being in a classroom, students would pay attention and stay more alert because there is a physical teacher in the classroom. If students take classes at home, they would want to just lay in bed. However, studies show that students do not learn and retain the knowledge when learning in bed. Some of the reasons are because they are less engaged, less focused, and likely to fall asleep. Also, peer pressure can be beneficial sometimes because peers help others get their work done and motivate them to keep going. Also, they are able to help and suggest new ideas.
