text: Students often benefit entirely from learning at their own pace. It has come times where teachers speed up their lessons to get caught up with the curriculum which is not beneficial for the students. Students do not respond as well to unfamiliar material when they feel rushed so they tend to give up. Also, in a room of twenty or more kids students lack the one on one help needed from the teacher. In harder courses full understanding is a necessity for students. Online courses or video conferencing from home on these difficult courses gives you that individual attention without causing the disruption of others. Being behind in a class while struggling to understand the material and turn in assignments on time can be very overwhelming and stressful. In the end it will do more harm then good. Distant learning can take you one step at a time with no rush into full understanding of material for a course.
