text: My family's experiences also prove that distance learning benefits students. When my mom went to college she did a lot of distance learning through the Generic_School. She needed the distance learning program so she could also take care of me and my little brother. Without this distance learning program she would not be able to have a college education. Some may say that they that they can go to school and watch their children. While this may be true, distance learning could make it so one doesnt need to plan their classes around their kids school and extracurricular activities. It could also make it so they could spend more time with their kids, or they could take more classes to get their degree faster.
