text: Although distance learning seems like an ideal way to learn, there are several downsides to it. One of which is a less flexible curriculum. Due to lessons being in video form, teachers are unable to tailor lessons to fit the needs of particular students or classes. This can lead to students being unresponsive and not being able to learn the material due to the way that it is presented. Because of this, students may have to seek out additional resources to fully understand the material that is being presented to them.
