text: Firstly, if distance learning was to take place, students would not have a concrete form of direct guidance to assist them throughout their school curriculum. The main reason that school is made mandatory for all minors, is to ensure that all children receive the proper education that they deserve. Enrollment in a distance learning course would remove the aspect of having a teacher in front of a student. It is important for students to be able to make eye contact with a teacher when learning, as it improves attention span and listening skills. A computed teacher cannot compare to a physical teacher's ability to respond and answer specific questions simultaneously. It is impossible to achieve the same dynamic of instruction and comprehension when learning virtually. When comparing distance learning students and in-school learning students, the in-school students are definitely reaping the most benefits.
