text: Some students are introverted, and would greatly appreciate an opportunity to learn in a distanced environment, but this holds little benefit to them. In short, distance learning would set up an introverted student for failure in life. The world is not designed for introverts, and complete isolation is not feasible. If a school was to allow an introverted student to participate in a distance learning program, then they would be positively reinforcing the behavior and the student would never gain the skills to handle a job, internship or relationship. The student wouldn't learn how to speak publicly, how to work in groups, or how to simply hold a conversation. Accommodations should be made in extreme cases, but even then complete isolation is not the answer.
