text: Consequently, there are countless distractions in the comfort of one's own home, while in a classroom students are forced to stay focused and complete all tasks at hand. In an educational setting, the environment is everything. On a psychological level, individuals have a relaxed and comforting connotation associated with their house, and long distance learning at home creates a environment not suited for education. On the other hand, a classroom setting is ideal for focus and attention. Long distance learning is detrimental to an understanding of the topic because of the conditions students attend the class in.
