text: Secondly, distance learning classes allow students the opportunity for students to take extra classes and expand their knowledge. Many schools only offer a handful of classes that exist which limits the opportunity for students to take classes about topics they wish to learn about. Distance learning classes allow students to broaden their knowledge in topics that interest them as they extend the opportunity to learn past the classes that schools offer and in some cases even allow students to create a solid foundation for their collegiate education and professional careers. Some students in school systems that do not offer distance learning opportunities are forced to take courses that are required for graduation instead of courses that interest them and this takes away from their chance to build a nice foundation for their post high school lives. If all schools offered distance learning, it would allow students to complete their graduation requirements early and allow for them to explore their topics of interest in a year long course that would help build their knowledge in their field of interest for their later stages of education and eventually their professional lives. The offering of distance learning classes by all schools would allow for many students to build a foundation in their field of interest and allow for many professionals to work at their optimum ability.
