text: Students with active schedules gain an advantage from using distance learning because, this resource aids students with time management. A national study has provided evidence showing that eighty percent of all high school students participating in sports, art and music programs, or enrolled in advance placement classes are not always able to handle the workload, often times being strained and unmotivated from this daily challenge. This research is ultimately proof that there is a need for outside materials to eliminate this problem, and distance learning provides the solution. With distance learning the students can take some of their core classes via online, or even through video chats teachers can upload, giving the students more relaxed schedules during the school day offering them time to focus on their other activities and classes they may throughout the day; turning the once stressed out teenagers struggling with academics into powerhouses of success.
