text: By being removed from a traditional learning environment that a classroom provides, it also removes the sense of being overwhelmed and anxious that one can get from the stressors it permits. Other students, and in some cases teachers, can create a barrier between a student and learning simply because they've created an environment that makes a student feel he or she is unable to fully focus and get involved in the subject. When this happens the likelihood that a student will be successful in a course greatly decreases. By removing him or her from this environment it destroys that barrier and creates a new space where he or she is now able to learn without any interrupters. Some say that the sense of being overwhelmed can still occur if one isn't able to keep up with their work, but by using time management skills he or she should be able to truly excel.
