Since the distance learning is based online you can practically complete your assignments and study your material from near and far. With that being given to you, you will be able to travel much more. It also gives students the time to visit ill family that live away from them and not have to worry about being marked absent. Another great opportunity that this style of learning offers is the chance to work and to also attend vocational/trade school. Due to the fact that, through distance learning, you do not have to stay in school from 7:00-2:00 and you have the choice as to when and where you want to finish your school work, you are able to work more hours. Not all students live in the best circumstances, but with being able to do your work at your freedom you can work more hours at your job and also have the opportunity to experience your dream career through vocational/trade school. Surely, distance learning grants students and their families much more freedom.
