text: With the option of distance learning many students may not be able to finish their work. This could result because there is no teacher physically present to hold the student accountable. For example, if the student knows that he or she will not have to face the teacher after not completing their work and that there will be no consequences, they will not be worried about having incomplete assignments. Another downside is that students prone to procrastination will not have continuous guidance of their teacher available to help them finish their work. Additionally, students may not learn how to prioritize their assignments, and they will have to make their own lesson plans in a way. Giving students this much freedom over their assignments could affect them negatively in all these ways.
