text: Distance education will most likely always be a hotly debated topic, in which both sides of the argument will raise many deeply introspective and thought-provoking questions and points. In some cases, distance education is necessary and important. However, it cannot be ignored that distance learning is not conducive or beneficial to most students. The lack of a normal classroom set-up, with teachers and classmates replaced for a laptop and a of couple blankets, fails to help students develop vital social and communication skills, while simultaneously aiding in the slacking off and wasting time of many students. All in all, distance learning and education isn't an appropriate replacement for a normal education that is received in a classroom, at a desk. When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person. When I was younger I broke my mother's vase and I didnt know what to do so I asked a friend of mine and they told me to hide it. Once my mother found out I had lied and hidden the evidence she was much more angry with me. Getting multiple opinions is more helpful than just one. You should get more than one opinion because you may not like the advice, it gives you options, and If you're still unsure.
