text: Students who live a great distance from school take the daily commute which may be up to, or even surpass, 30 minutes. This puts students in a very difficult situation. From having to wake up earlier to the amount of gas spent a week. One of the main concerns of such a long commute every morning is the gas. Gas is not cheap and as a student money is not always abundant. This may lead to an absurd amount of money only saved for gas. With distance schooling this problem can be easily taken away. Distance learning can save students a great deal of money that can be put towards other important wants and needs. Waking up early is a trial students, teachers, and most people around the world face every day. When living 30 minutes or more away from school, that commute only makes students have to wake up even earlier. This may lead to sleeping in class or even falling asleep behind the wheel, but with distance learning a student can wake up and not rush to get ready for school. Distance learning gives students the time they need to rest and be ready to learn when most convenient. The advantage that distance learning has for those who drive a great distance is hugely beneficial both financially and for the health of that student.
