The more ideas you can get the better because you have multiple differing opinions. and if you have multiple opinion all different then you can make a choice based off of all of them that you think are in common. Sometimes it is best to go with your own opinions because other peoples opinions are not what is best for you. If you just follow everyone with the same ideas then you are just a follower. Sometimes it is best to make a call yourself to do what is best for you. If you cannot learn to make choices for yourself early it is going to be even harder when you are in the real world and have to make a lot of tough calls. When you get advice from one person then it is almost always going to be a one sided idea or piece of advice. When you come to a road block on your own path then that is when you need to ask for advice. It is never good to ask just one person. So as soon as you get many pieces of advice and most of them state the same thing it is probably the best one.

Most of the advice that you will need it things like school or ideas. You can even get advice on which classes to take next year or what sports you want to do or how you can convince your parents to let you do the sport that you want to do. The best way to get better at sports is to seek advice from people who have played it for a long time. Most sports like basketball or wrestling are just experience dominates. In basketball if you are guarding someone with a lot of experience then it is going to be a lot harder because they already know the sport like the back of their hand. It is always the best to seek advice from older players. Because they have played the sport longer than you have and know how most people play. The more advice that you seek from them the more answers you will get to your questions.

The more advice you get the better it will be for you. If you get advice from one person it is going to be so much harder for you to follow it rather then learning multiple strategies from other people. If you dont follow them and choose your own road then it is going to be a whole lot easier to use their advice on your own instead of following them. Them giving advice to you is not them saying that you have to follow them it is them telling you how they made their decisions on their own and how it can be helpful to you.

The more sleep and time a student has to themselves, the more successful they will be. Imagine this, a student living in a rural countryside lives about 35 minutes away from his school. Their school starts at around 8:00 AM. The bus would have to make multiple stops and the student's being the first. This would mean that the student would have to be ready to leave in time for the bus to pick them up and endure the rest of the stops. Being this early they would have to be ready by about 7 AM or maybe even earlier. He or she would then have to wake up at a comfortable time maybe 6 AM or earlier. The day before they had homework which they didnt finish until about 5 PM. To get more than 8 hours of sleep at that point you would need to sleep before 10 PM. This leaves the student with not even 5 hours of the day for himself. More time could be allocated to extracurricular activities if the student did not have to worry about getting up in time for the bus.

Parents also have more control in a student's performance by being their to guide and support them through their studies. A student studying through distance learning will also be able to have more experience with technology. This added experience and knowledge will be critical in this advancing world. A lot of people will be able to find themselves taking heart to technology related fields or simply giving themselves new found passions. Students who otherwise despise going to school and having to deal with their ailment will find a new found love for school and learning. Take for example, a new high school student who suffers from social anxiety. This student would have to deal with tons of stress from entering a new environment with new people. He or she would be focused on the gratification of his peers while distracting him from his schoolwork. If this student was taking a distance learning program he would not have to force himself through this unnecessary stress. This student would pick up on vital learning abilities needed in high school to help him succeed in his upcoming years. Otherwise, without this type of program, the student could miss out on important opportunities through the stress and turmoil of worrying about his peers and image.

This could save student's more time in the mornings, and save the school money to enhance their learning experience. Buses would have less mileage and more gas. Student's who drive wouldn't have to worry about expenses towards their transportation. Also larger amounts of people can be accommodated by the school due to less people being physically in the classroom. More money could also mean raises to teachers which would satisfy the ongoing issue of teachers feeling like they aren't paid enough. Students will also be more enticed in a school career due to a larger salary. Schools will run a lot more smoothly and the field would be infinitely more respected by the new generation.

In conclusion, distance learning has a lot of benefits and brings forth solutions to modern problems. Students taking distance learning can better understand technology and how they feel about it. It would come to no surprise if we saw an increase of teachers and computer scientists due to the implementation of this program. School offices would be thrilled to use less money on transportation, and to see students enjoy their success without the turmoil of going through unwanted social interaction. Distance learning is an example of how technological evolution brings forth great changes to everyday life, and how we can get into a healthier mindset of change in the school system.

In America today many students are now doing online schooling. These students do school on their computers which requires an obtuse amount of reading. Students do their work online while often times attending video conferences. A handful of parents believe getting an education online is not giving their children what they need to get a full education. They believe there is nothing to gain from online school that you won't get from public school. But many disagree with that sentiment. Is public school really ultimately the best option for students?

Many americans currently struggle everyday with health problems. This can make things hard as resources are limited and some things might not be as accessible for some individuals. People with hypothyroidism often times have difficulty focusing. This can be especially difficult for students as a teacher may give directions and the student could easily miss them. Individuals who have hypothyroidism often times have what's nick named the thyroid stare. They space out and become unaware of their surroundings, including the teacher talking. Another symptom of hypothyroidism is confusion. Students could forget where things are and forget directions even when they hear them.

Communication is a large part of life. Perhaps you are being interviewed for a new job, or maybe you're giving a lecture at a Socratic seminar. Whatever the reason may be, social communication is a very important skill to have; and while this skill may come easy to some, for us introverts it can be a rather daunting task. As a child I was very shy and tended to cling towards my mother at any social event I would attend in order to avoid the other children. My mother never forced me to, so I saw nothing wrong with staying by her side instead as it is what I was comfortable with. It wasn't until my first year of grade school that I would be pushed into interacting with others without the sight of my mother. I had spent so many years avoiding others that I found it very difficult to be social with other kids. By the time Middle School came however, I had gotten quite use to being around other children and could present myself properly in a social space. However other students did not have that luxury. As the sixth grade started, I was introduced the first home schooled child I had ever seen. Due to her being home schooled, she didn't spend much time with other kids her own age. Because of this, she often didn't relate well to others and could never pick up on normal social ques. As the years went on and she continued to be taught in public school, she did in fact become a lot more social and gained a group of very close friends, myself included, but the point still stands that if either of us had stayed to ourselves and had never been put into a social environment at that young age, then we would've never learned how to properly conduct ourselves in society.

This is a major issue with distance learning; if everything is done at home, then kids will never have that push to be more social.

Currently the world is becoming more technologically advanced and most careers have adapted this new wave of advancements. It can be said that the computer focused aspect of distance learning will better prepare students for jobs such as these.

However, what if a child doesn't want these careers and strive for something more personal to them and just don't know it yet?

Careers such as and artist or a musician. Skills that can't simply be taught through a screen and involve a more hands on approach. Schools not only provide but encourage all students to partake in a variety of different clubs and extracurricular activities in order for each student to discover their own passion.

Some may argue that students have the ability to do these activities on their own time if they desire to do so.

I argue that need to be aware of that their options are in order to branch out to do those things and schools give children that push to try out these new things and change them to their own liking.

Children wont simply do things because they exist, they need a push to try new things, and schools offer that by having individuals that share a passion for something show it off in amazing ways. Ways such as concerts, recitals, or showcases for the arts.

Being exposed to things allow students to grow a fondness for them and venture out of their comfort zone; something that distance learning is not able to do.

Distance learning is a very wonderful concept when it comes to how we teach children. It allows student to be more comfortable and work by their own schedule for the most part. The fact that technology has become such a common aspect of life that children are able to be taught in this way is an achievement in itself.

However, simply because something can be done, does not mean it should be.
