text: In a traditional school setting students may have trouble concentrating on the lesson because they want to talk to their friends. This issue will only be amplified if distance learning is used because there are even more distractions at home for a child. One of the main distractions would be the child's family and pets. If the child is part of a big family it may be hard to concentrate with the noise. The same issue would appear if the child has a baby in the house due to the baby crying or playing. The student may additionally be distracted by his or her own toys. If the child is watching the lecture in their room they may have the urge to play with their toys that are across the room. Students in normal schools are not allowed to be on their phones during class, but in this situation they could easily be on their phone without anyone ever knowing. If the class is only accessible online the students must have internet access. When the power is out or their internet is not working the students will not be able to learn. These distractions would all lead to students not paying enough attention in class and not retaining the information taught.
