text: Many who oppose allowing distance learning may say that students who do not attend class will have more distractions, and therefore a worse education; however, these people mistakenly conflate attendance with a good education. Often times students in class who are distracted will end up taking other students' focus along with them as their distraction distracts others. Students doing distance learning they won't have to worry about outside distractions so students who truly want to focus can put themselves in an environment that best suits their learning style. Another point people who oppose optional distance learning may make is that by allowing students the choice to learn from home many will just stop their studies all together. While in some cases this may be true, the people who would stop their education when given the option of distance learning are the same people who would drop out of high school even without distance learning. By giving students more control over their education through distance learning the people who want to succeed are given more resources to further their education which is truly important.
