text: Overall driving has become the worlds' "norm" for our way of living. Yes, having a car that can assist you while driving would be very helpful, but having a car that drives for you would not. In that case, what would be the point of owning a car when you could instead call a taxi? Everyday our world is changing. Ideas and inventions are growing bigger and better by the second. Driverless cars are smart and creative inventions but cars were created to help make our lives easier;not live our lives for us.                       In our society, many things have changed over time. Whether it be the way we communicate or how we shop, we are becoming more efficient. However, a major piece of our lives has remained the same; that being, our education. Children and young adults today are learning the same way their parents and grandparents did. While standard teaching and learning techniques are still beneficial to education, they are becoming outdated. Distance learning is a relatively new technique that many schools don't offer, and I feel that this should change. This option allows kids in school to attend class from home "by way of online or video conferencing." By offering distance learning to students, we will ultimately improve their experiences in school. School can be extremely stressful, and many students will agree with that statement. Coursework can be both demanding and exhausting. Distance learning is an option that is extremely beneficial due to the fact that it prevents excessive absences, minimizes distractions, and makes learning more appealing to students.
