text: All people learn differently and for some the classroom environment may not be the right place to learn. Classrooms can be too distracting for some. Sometimes even the slightest bit of noise can prevent a student from being able to focus or listen. In every class there is always that one kid who taps their pencil or foot and it may help them focus, but it can be debilitating for others. The constant tap tap tap sound could distract them from what the teacher is saying or prevent them from focusing on what they are reading. Other students, that are not suited for the classroom style of learning, may benefit from being able to set their own schedule where they can learn at their own pace on their own time. Being the last student in class to finish a test or having a teacher not understand why you need more time to finish an essay or project can be extremely frustrating and distance learning could let students set a pace and time line that is best suited for them. Distance learning can also give students more help and one on one time with a teacher. With distance learning the teacher would only need to focus on one student and they would be able to formulate lessons around that student's strengths and weaknesses and base the lessons on their needs. Distance learning can provide students with a more controlled learning environment that would help them excel in their studies.
