text: Most people have a hard time focusing when their friends are around, especially when it comes to school work; The same goes for students. When children around their age are constantly talking to them or trying to play with them during instructional time it becomes an issues. The student can not focus therefor they can not learn. Resulting in the student falling behind. When the time comes for a test or a quiz the student has absolutely no idea how to complete the exam. Consequently failing the exam, and possibly end with a failing grade for the marking period. If the student began online classes there would be a less likely chance of the student failing, because they have designated times to spend playing with friends and for school work. The student still has the possibility of being distracted but the possibility has lessened because they have less room for distractions. This results in a better performance of the student for example, their grades could improve.
