text: With a lack of information, opportunities to obtain skills that prove to be helpful in an individual's career, and resources that do not cater toward all types of learners, distance learning does not benefit those who plan to attend classes from their home. Several students jump to the idea of online schooling or video conferencing with a personal tutor, thinking it is easier and more convenient, but there are ultimatelly more disadvantages than advantages when looking at distance learning from a short-term and long-term perspective.If theres one thing that can ruin a kids summer vacation, its a long and boring summer assignment given out by their teachers. Teachers think they are helping by making the assignment hard to get the kids thinking, but in reality, most kids will just give up and not do it. I think that summer assignments should be created by the students because they would be better suited for the kids, more kids would do them, and they would make the project less boring.
