text: Another reason learning by online or video conferencing in ones home is beneficial is because it helps avoid social pressure. One of the biggest issues in our world today has to do with comparing oneself to others. Mental struggles and illnesses have been increased over the years because of the influence and negative mindset built up by those around us. Whether it is grades, personality, appearance, etc. our society is constantly brought down by one another. Being educated at home allows people to limit their exposure to this constant pressure put on by teachers, or peers. Their confidence will be boosted, and those being taught at home will create a better ability to learn because the comparison of others abilities will not be shown.
