text: My experiences prove that distance learning benefits students. Over the summer I took an online class for economics and personal finance. This benefited me because I cold pickup classes wherever I left off, so this meant that when I was busy I could do my classes later. This also allowed me to take entrepreneurship over the school year because I got my economics credit for high school. Some may say that distance learning is not beneficial to students because the courses offered online are not the ones they need for school. While they may not need more credits to graduate high school, college admission requirements can differ from high school graduation requirements, and some classes not offered at a school could be offered online so that a student could still attend college.
