text: Wallington 3            The primary goal of any school is for their students to do the best they possibly can throughout their years of education; However, many students around the globe do not thrive in a traditional school environment and opt for an alternate form of learning such as homeschooling. In addition to homeschooling, distance learning is an option that various schools offer in which students are able to attend their classes at home via online courses or video conferencing in place of going to school. While there are many parents, teachers, and administrators that say distance learning is not a suitable way for students to learn, others could argue that distance learning is an innovative solution that not only increases the responsibility of a student, but also accommodates personal situations a student is going through. Overall, the ability to attend classes from home would be beneficial to many students due to the increase of independence, lack of distractions, and flexibility it provides.
