text: Being able to have choices and control the settings around you is something we as humans do in society everyday, whether it be from choosing to sit at a booth over a table in a restaurant because you dont like being close to crowds, or even deciding to drink Starbucks instead of McDonald coffee. So why not apply the same concept with Education. Students should be able to control their learning environment and distance learning allows them to make those choices. School is considered very stressful for the young minds of today, not only that but having the same routine every day for ten consecutive months has proven to make students learning experience depressing, and mentally taxing. When students are capable of changing their learning environment they become reengaged with the material and not bored with the same scenery. For example, a local school district offers a distance learning program where students can take the core classes they would normally have at school and take it online, many of the students who have overwhelming schedules decided to use the distance learning resource and completely fell in love with it, the ability to take their work somewhere outside of school made it easier for the students to focus and was described as an answer to their academic prayers, showing that this tool is beneficial, and can really enhance a students learning experience.
