text: In conclusion, I think policy 1 is better, but it isn't perfect. It has minor flaws (misuse of phones, etc.), but not as many as policy 2 has (inability to contact home easily, etc.). Policy 2 would make many students use the school's phones, which would have long lines anyhow, and it may take a long time to tell your parents something that is immediately important. Too much (freedom, in this case) is better than too little, and that's a philosophy that I apply almost everywhere.Distance learning, taking online classes from home, is becoming more popular in this new generation of technological advancements. Using online classes, video conferences, and online resources, schools are officially starting to offer distance learning to their students. However, students do not benefit from distance learning because it provides less help and makes school more difficult, lessens kids' social interactions, and is harder to accomplish due to distractions in one's home.
