text: Distance learning stunts a student's growth because staring at a screen for hours results in more harm than good. It tires one out and then procures a below average performance that hinders a student's overall education. Distance learning also tempts a student's academic integrity, especially when they have ready access to the internet, which is a whole database of answers. A student can easily cheat by looking up the answers on an another tab or going on another piece of technology such as a phone, to search up answers. For instance, students in Generic_City, China were pushed to attend school online due to a city quarantine thanks to the Coronavirus. Professors and teachers alike informed their pupils of apps they have to download and would hold video classes where students would watch and write down notes, but ultimately, some wouldn't log in, and others weren't able to hear their instructor speaking either due to connectivity issues or other students talking. This resulted in students cheating and finding answers online and rating the apps one star to the point where the app would be removed from the app store. Distance learning produces individuals who don't put their best work in and perform well, below average.
