text: Some may say that through the distance learning program, students are able to skip class with no consequence. This is not true because even while students are not attending school, they have to complete the assignments or notes given to them, and of course the teacher is capable of viewing what work has been completed. People also argue that students are distracted easily and are not able to retain information as well as in a classical learning setting; however this is not true. Students that are easily sidetracked at home are also easily distracted at school, however at school students that have this issue end up distracting other students. At home, they may have fewer distractions, and would not be able to interrupt and affect the learning quality of other students.
