text: Currently the world is becoming more technologically advanced and most careers have adapted this new wave of advancements. It can be said that the computer focused aspect of distance learning will better prepare students for jobs such as these. However, what if a child doesn't want these careers and strive for something more personal to them and just don't know it yet? Careers such as and artist or a musician. Skills that can't simply be taught through a screen and involve a more hands on approach. Schools not only provide but encourage all students to partake in a variety of different clubs and extracurricular activities in order for each student to discover their own passion. Some may argue that students have the ability to do these activities on their own time if they desire to do so. I argue that need to be aware of that their options are in order to branch out to do those things and schools give children that push to try out these new things and change them to their own liking. Children wont simply do things because they exist, they need a push to try new things, and schools offer that by having individuals that share a passion for something show it off in amazing ways. Ways such as concerts, recitals, or showcases for the arts. Being exposed to things allow students to grow a fondness for them and venture out of their comfort zone; something that distance learning is not able to do.
