text: A disadvantage of distance learning is that teacher's would not be able to fully communicate their class, states, and national standards. It leaves room open for misinterpretation and may not be conveyed properly. Since teachers are the ones that plan out standards alongside other educators in the world, it's best to explain in person and to answer questions of the students right then and there. If people attend classes from home, there'll be a lack of understanding from the student's side of what the teacher expects. For example, in the educational books and cartoon, The Magic School Bus, Ms. Frizzles teaches her students in a way that isn't just talking through technology nor is it talking at the kids; instead, she actually teaches them in a way where she's able to communicate fully what she means to teach. She gets her entire point across and her students understand it because it is engaging. Applying this more, if online schooling was given, then children would not be engaged enough to listen to their teacher's bare instructions. Even if they did pay attention, then there would probably be a lot of errors due to misinterpretation which is why distance learning would not be the best option.
