text: Students can finish work from anywhere and at anytime when given the option of distance learning. On some days, individuals just cannot focus on what they are learning. Attending classes from home allows one to give themselves a brain break and a chance to regain their focus, which cannot be done when in school as students are expected to attend class one after the other. Giving a break in between of learning content is important as it lets one understand the content better. Along with this some people have to take emergency trips to another country or simply cannot attend school for various reasons. The ability to take classes online resolves this issue as it enables one to still be able to learn the content regardless of being at school or not. Along with this, it prepares an individual for college as colleges have different timed classes and are not like traditional length high school classes. My sister took an online class over the course of a year for the first time her junior year in high school. It took her a little while to get used to as she was used to the traditional styled high school classes. her teacher would video conference with her at different times of day than a regular high school schedule. Once she graduated high school, she went to college and had a fairly new experience. She said that her experience with the online class prepared her well for college. It gave her exposure to the college styled classes and let her get the experience of learning the content on her own and then having the teacher help her with anything she wasn't sure about.
