text: It is a known fact that, if given the opportunity, most people would chose to partner up with a friend to work on an assignment. Working with peers, especially in school, may seem like a good idea at a first glance, but studies show that when surrounded by all of their friends a majority of students tend to get less work done. If a student were to switch to online classes at home, this would not occur. When students work alone they are able to actually stay focused on the tasks at hand. Self working students do not have to deal with the distractions of talkative friends and also won't feel obligated to engage in their friends' conversations because they will be by themselves. There are also other factors in a school setting that distract from a students leaning that doesn't happen at home like the temperature of a classroom, or the white noise of air conditioning. Both of these things can make the leaning experience uncomfortable for students because the environment around them is not ideal. If the a student was to attend online classes then the problems of loud background noises and inconsistent temperature wouldn't factor in negatively toward some students' performance on school work because they are in the comfort of their home.
