Some people think that distance learning programs can never be as good as traditional, face-to-face education. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

During the Covid-19 pandemic, every student had to experiment with distance lessons. Since

then

, it is often been discussed whether traditional education could be gradually substituted with internet lessons or not. In my essay, I will share my opinion about the topic

due to

my experience with it during my university years.

According to

most people, face-to-face courses are not going to disappear.

However

, it is necessary to compare the main advantages of

this

new type of education to those of the traditional school system.

Firstly

, a lesson taken on the internet allows us to comfortably stay at home

while

studying.

Although

it may sound like an advantage only for lazy people, students who should take long and expensive trips to get to class might benefit from it.

Additionally

, the platforms used to stream offer the opportunity to record.

Therefore

, it would give the possibility to come back to that content when needed,

for example

, during a repetition.

In contrast

, it is far more difficult to remain focused

while

attending distance programs. In my experience, I struggled to follow what the professor was telling us because my attention continued to shift away from the screen. Most of my colleagues had the same issue.

Moreover

, the face-to-face way helps to develop the ability to work with a team,

while

the online one fails to meet

this

goal.

As a consequence

, most of us still prefer to take part in traditional lessons. In conclusion, the downsides of distance education outweigh the pros and,

for

this

reason, I think that the old-fashion method is not going anywhere soon.
