Interacting with people face to face is essential for maintaining not only a proper education, but mental health and social life as well. Interacting with teachers is crucial when students have trouble understanding a topic or lesson.

In a classroom environment, teachers can easily explain the questions that students may have through visual demonstration. Take for example, my math class at school; when I have trouble understanding a topic in math, I ask the teacher. She then proceeds to demonstrate an example on the Promethean board, showing all the work and further explaining other questions I have. In an online setting however, students would be restricted to communicating with their teachers through messaging or email. In that scenario, it would be hard for teachers to explain student's questions due to their inability to provide a visual demonstration. Also, students may be in the risk of experiencing loneliness due to the lack of social interaction. Students make most of their friends through school, and by having an online classroom with no face to face interactions, they're missing out on all the friends and memories they could've made. Maintaining a social life and friends is critical for the mental health of children and young adults, and distance learning would only be taking this away from them. Distance learning would not serve to be beneficial to students because of its inability to provide face to face interaction interaction with teachers and their peers.

Another way distance learning isn't beneficial to students is that it provides no hands-on-learning activities.

29687C1F98F1
Hands-on-learning is an effective way of learning which makes lessons and concepts a lot more memorable. It's also necessary for science labs and projects. Last year in my AP Biology class, we frequently did labs, which helped me learn the material a lot better than the lectures did. An example would be when we dissected an embryo of a pig, in which I was able to gain a better understanding of anatomy and parts of the body. Group projects also widened my understanding of topics in other classes as well. When we had to use a three dimensional printer to copy the outline of a roman column, a type of architecture, I was able to better understand the designs and features involved in the creation of this type of structure. Online classes wouldn't be able to provide the same opportunity because it would be impossible to perform regulated science labs and complex projects in a household setting. Many students find hands-on-learning activities to be more compelling and memorable than lectures and notes. Due to the inability of distance learning to provide hands-on-learning, it's an ineffective form of education which won't serve as a benefit for students.

Aside from distance learning's lack of ability to provide face to face interactions and hands-on-learning, it also fails to allow students to experience an ideal college classroom setting.

A majority of high school students plan to pursue higher levels of study in the future and attend college. Universities often have classroom settings for their lectures, and students will not be used to it if they have been studying from home for their high school years. A classroom setting and a household setting are two completely different experiences. It would be difficult for someone to get used to a classroom setting after they've spent years without even stepping into a classroom. Another disadvantage is that they may find participating in group work to be difficult. Many college assignments involve projects or group work, and distance learning students would likely not be able to perform as well in those assignments than as students who attended regular school. For example, it may be hard for them to follow the directions and meet the requirements for the project, as well as being able to interact and make agreements with their group members. Furthermore, group work is also critical in jobs outside of college, so this applies to students not attending college as well. Distance learning students wouldn't be used to the ideal college or job setting and would have trouble getting used to it. Because of this, online education wouldn't benefit students as much as regular classrooms do.

Although the idea of not attending school and staying at home all day is a dream for many students, it fails to serve the same benefits to students that regular classrooms do. When comparing distance learning to classroom settings, it can be seen that learning in classrooms is a much more beneficial option. Students would not benefit from being able to attend classes from home because there would be no face to face interactions with their instructors and peers, there would be no hands-on-learning within their class lessons, and students would not be able to become used to a college setting after participating in distance learning for a long time.

It is easier to be reassured by multiple people, rather than one, because a group of people is more likely to think of more different ideas, than an individual person. One person may tell somebody that they look good, or they did well at something, just because they wouldn't want to hurt that person's feelings. In contrast, a group of people may agree upon recommendations, or could even help the person, depending on the situation. Also, if a person is in a tight situation and asking a group of people for their opinions, somebody in a group may think of a response nobody else had thought of.

If somebody needs a quick response to their concern, they may ask a person near them, whether they deeply know the person, or don't know the person at all. Sometimes, in the moment, people need fast advice, although the advice may not necessarily be the best. This "fast advice" can make people feel better in the moment, but they still may not fully believe what the person had told them, especially if they don't have a connection with that person. This can cause the person seeking advice to ask other people what they think, just to be safe. If somebody asks other people the same question and gets a different response, they may value the second or third person's opinions, rather than the opinion coming from the first person they asked. For example, when going to get seen by a doctor for an injury, people may have multiple consultations for treatment, then choose which treatment plan best suits them. Therefore, having multiple valued opinions can help somebody make a decision that fits the situation, but also fits that person's own needs.

Many people have been asked for their opinion, yet, they may not tell the truth. People have trouble telling the truth to people at times, simply because they worry that they may hurt that person's feelings. A lot of times, the thought process of the people that are lying is more along the lines of trying to be kind and respectful, rather than giving a fully honest opinion. Although some people might not tell the truth, others most likely will, if asked. Since honesty is a key component of trust, honesty is valued far more in rough situations, than just being nice.

If somebody asked only one person their opinion, it would be impossible to get a group's majority. As mentioned in the second paragraph, a majority of people can bring far more reassurance than one person. This can help somebody make better decisions, since there are other people that have examined the situation as their own, and have given thought out advice. As well, it is often a good feeling to somebody, knowing that multiple people acknowledge and care about them. People like when they have not been lied to, because it shows a relationship of trust. Trust can play a big factor, in terms of advice, because a person will not be able to believe other people's ideas, if they can't rely on the person. In conclusion, asking a group of people for advice can lead to different recommendations, an increased sense of relief, and ultimately, making better decisions. At the end of the day, it is important to ask others for advice because people have to make their own decisions. Sometimes it can be extremely hard for people to decide which path to take.

For example, a classmate named Generic_Name and I are having problems between ourselves. I do not know whether to apologize or to let the freindship die off. I ask ten people in my class about their opinion on Generic_Name. Nine out of the ten people think that Generic_Name has a very self loathing and snippy personality. They also say that he often does not care about his friends and only does things that please himself. Because I asked my fellow classmates, I now have a sense of Generic_Name's personality traits. The majority of my classmates did not like Generic_Name very much. Mrs. Generic_Name, my math teacher, often gets mad at Generic_Name and sends him home with misbehavior notes for his parents to read. I now know that Generic_Name is not a very nice person and is prone to getting into trouble. Based on what I have heard from others and what I have learned in class about Generic_Name, I have come to the conclusion that it would not be a wise decision to become friends with Generic_Name again. Becoming friends with Generic_Name would set me up for failure. I would fall under the influence of Generic_Name and most likely get myself into trouble.

Getting advice from others at work can lead to multiple benefits. For example, I am working on a presentation for a new product, I ask my bosses whether or not they think it would be a good idea to implement a free fifty day trial. Eighty percent of my bosses deem it necessary to include a free fifty day trial. In the longrun, it would help push the customers to buy our product becuase they know they can always return it before the fifty days is up. As a result, on the day that the product was released to the public, we made thirty percent more sales than we had previously thought due to the fifty day free trial. That very same day my boss decided to give me a fifteen percent pay raise for my idea of implementing the fifty day free trial.

At school students spend a lot of unneeded time either walking around or doing extra things that may be needed for their studies, outside of their main classes. When students have the ability to stay at home this offers a lot of this down time to be spent working on projects of their interest or improving on their abilities that they may have not been able to do at school. For example, a teen may be into programming computers and has all of the equipment needed at home. In between or after finishing school work, this student will be able to have the time to use his own computer to program, and lets this student work on this skill that he wishes to pursue in his later career. The student would have the opportunity to fulfill this unneeded time at school to do tasks he enjoys during the day. Another thing that takes up a lot of time is transportation to and from school for kids who live long distances away. With the ability to work from home, this long distance transportation is removed leading to more time for activities enjoyed by a student. For example, If a student was able to take away that 30 min to school and back, it allows that hour to be spent on an activity that the student might want to pursue. Due to these reasons it would be highly beneficial for a student to learn from home, due to the unneeded time being taken away and adding more free time for other tasks.

Online schooling is a recent form of schooling which allows students to be at home and learn the same information as students at school. The use of online school is certainly going to increase in size as new ideas and thoughts begin to approach. Even though this online school may change the way the worlds schooling has been used throughout the years, it is a big step in technological advancement. Although there may be some affects to online schooling, I believe that it is beneficial for students to have online learning because it allows students the time to focus on activities they want to use in the future and takes away safety distractions students may have in school.

Seeking multiple opinions will help them decide which opinions they would prefer to help them pick from. This person could have a number of options to decide from so that they will get more ideas for the advice they could recieve. Asking for advice from one person is not a very good way for getting opinions, because that person will not have as many options as a great deal of people could have. The person getting advice should not decide on one person to get opinion from because they might not get as many ideas as they would like to get. Having more opinions to influence from can make up a huge decision for a person that is seeking more to options.

They might not think that a lot of people have the best opinions for them but they can figure out which options they can pick out of a whole bunch. When they ask people for advice, they could get a number of good or bad reasons that they must choose from so that they can decide which ones they approve of the most. It might be hard for someone to figure out which options they should pick from unless you can pick a few opinions from each person and mix them up. One decision can contain different methods or opinions from someone and they do not have to be all the same thing. This person is able to decide whichever opinion they choose from even if there may be many consistent and inconsistent choices.

Different people will have different ideas and options from their perspectives on different kinds of things. It is best to decide whether or not they have the same opinions or ideas, to see if they could bond to make new decisions. Everyone that that person picks from to get advice, could have the same opinions as others or different. Depending on people you trust may have better opinions then those of the people you do not trust. This person might think that the people they do care about or know more, have more ideas to pick from and approve from because they know and trust them most.

In conclusion, I think that seeking multiple opinions is the best choice for someone to make their own decision. Asking for advice from multiple people is the best option because you get more opinions to choose from different kinds of people. Seeking multiple opinions can help the person see what other people think of which decision is best for them.

by listening to just one person, you may only get that one person's opinion about what he or she believes is right. It is important to listen to what many others have to say in order to make the best decision for yourself. Recently, I got a bad grade on a math test. My grade hadn't gone below a 98% in Algebra so far. This test brought me down a whole letter grade. I didn't know if I should retake it or not. I knew it probably wouldn't bring my grade up much. However, I still didn't know what to do. I asked my Math teacher, my parents, and a few of my friends. Each looked at the situation differently. After listening to all of these perspectives, I put them together and formed my own decision. As long as I did my homework and got a good grade on the next test, I would be back up to an A and not have to retake it. I was helped a lot by getting different opinions of people with different backgrounds.

when preparing to go into 8th grade, I couldn't decide which elective class I should take. I narrowed the decision down to either Art or Tech Ed. I didn't know what to do, so I asked all three of my older sisters who had recently gone through Generic_School, the school that I was currently at. One of my sisters said she loved Art and I should take it. Another said that a lot of boys enjoy Tech Ed, and you get to build a lot of cool stuff. I was still on the fence, so I asked my dad. He said the stuff you do and the tools you use in Tech Ed will be a lot more useful as my life went on. I came to the final decision of Tech Ed. This is just one example of why asking for advice of multiple people with different experiences is so important. If I had just listened to what my first sister said, I would probably be doing Art.

It is important to listen to others opinions so you can form your own. Humans can do so much more when they put their minds together. Getting many perspectives from other people and putting them together to form the best decision is the best way to do it. It is imperative that your choice reflects what many people say, and not just one. There are so many different opinions to be heard.

seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice. There are many different opinions out there. People look at things differently and have different beliefs, and everybody doesn't have the same experiences. Even on just little things like retaking a test or figuring out your courses for the upcoming year. Listening to other peoples opinions will always help you form the best one.
