text: Some may say that if students take lessons at home, they are more apt to be distracted. While students may become distracted and not pay full attention to video lessons, the reality is that students also become distracted in physical school. Students regularly fall asleep or visit with their peers during instructional time, however in physical school if a student does not pay attention in a lesson there is no way for the teacher to reteach it without wasting the class' time. However, in distance learning students may re-watch a lesson that they missed, allowing them to fully comprehend a lesson without using up valuable class time. Therefore, distraction in distance education is less of a problem than in physical school, providing further evidence of the efficacy of this new form of learning.
