text: STUDENT_NAMEDistance learning is a new tool that some schools are using in order to give students an option of taking a class at home instead of at the classroom. This is an interesting way of teaching because it provides the comfort of working at home for students, which is becoming an increasing trend as of 2019, while still providing high-quality education from professional educators. Nevertheless, while distance teaching is an innovative idea in theory, this method will have a negative impact on students because there will be too many distractions that will keep students from growing through educational means and developing life skills.
