text: Although some people make it seem taboo that attending classes online is an option a person would rather take than a tradional school, there are clearly a lot of positive aspects of deciding on taking one's classes online. By choosing to not take a traditional school, an individual is able to focus more than just their academic life and able to take on more opportunites that most likely would not be given if it were not for this barrier. Also, attending classes online pushes a person on being more independent because it is ultimately all on them to juggle with their own academic and personal life. Although attending classes online might not be for everyone, it goes to show that there are many benefits one can take from it.Imagine your alarm clock goes off and you get out of bed, and after doing your morning routine instead of grabbing your book bag to heading out and catching the bus for school instead you open your laptop and open up a video chat with your teacher to get your lesson of the day instead. This idea isn't and is referred to as distance learning. Distance learning already exists in most colleges such as Generic_School and has started to develop in high schools. Many have the impression that this could be the new way to do school work. Others believe that distance learning won't bring much of a change as it says it is and have a rather niche effect in schools. I strongly believe that distance learning can make a big difference in the learning environment.
