text: Distance schooling benefits students by teaching them time-management skills. By having students set aside specific time for video conferencing or online courses, they will be able to acquire skills on time-management. For example, over the course of one semester, my sister attended college through online courses and exclaimed, "If there is one thing I loved and learned from the idea of having online classes, is time-management. I would plan my day out from start to finish and execute all tasks and assignments in one day" (Generic_Name). As proven by her exclaim, distance schooling offers students a chance to plan out their day and be able to set appointments at specific times to perform their school-related tasks. This is beneficial to the student because they have the opportunity to control their day-to-day lives. Through time-management as well, students will develop traits such as responsibility and independence, which is the goal for the future generation.
