text: Many kids simply do not learn well in a classroom environment. For some students the issue might be distractions, such as other students constantly talking or disrupting the classes, or it might even be the student distracting himself, talking to their friends instead of getting their work done and learning. Simply put, for some students, especially younger ones, a traditional classroom environment can be too distracting for a student to learn effectively. With distance learning, the parent would have more control over how much time the student spends learning and can manage their studies as well. In a classroom teachers have around 20-30 kids that they need to pay attention to and it is not possible for the teacher to give attention and watch out for this amount of kids. On top of this there are students with diagnosed social problems such as those with aspbergers syndrome or autism. Kids with these issues tend to have an even harder time learning in the traditional classroom environment and would benefit largely being able to learn from home.
