text: All schools should offer distance learning because some students may really need it and if they have it all students should be informed about it. Learning is a different exprience for everyone so if distance learning benefits you , go for it. Everyone should have an option of how they want to learn because only you know what is best for yourself. Schools should always want what is best for their students so if this is for them help them make this right choice. In conclusion I think distance learning does benefit the right students and could be very useful in their lifes. In our community, it is important to be actively involved. This not only helps those around you, but it can have a profound effect on you too. I think it is beneficial to have students participate in at least one extracurricular activity outside of school. This could be sports, clubs, or even volunteer work. Students get to know new people, have an impact, and even gain valuable life skills that will help them in the real world. I participate in a creative thinking program called Odyssey of the Mind. Since joining that program, I have made new friends, competed for my school, have become an effective problem solver, and have even seen improvement in my grades. I know getting involved after school could help other students.
