text: My friend helped me realize that distance learning is more useful than it may seem. For example, even if it is helpful to be taught by a teacher in-person, I may find it difficult to keep up with lectures or notes, because of distracting friends, cold classrooms, and the inability to go to the bathroom whenever I want. Sometimes I need more time to process the topic for the day, or I may need to relearn the material in a room where I can adjust the thermostat. These are all benefits of learning at home!
