Disadvantages of face-to-face learning environments.
In a classroom setting it is very difficult for students to gain the most knowledge. Every grade level is different depending on how many students are squished into a classroom. Being a college student it is very difficult to learn in a face-to-face classroom, one of my classes has 180 students attending. Sitting in a theater type classroom it is difficult for anyone to pay attention for several reasons. Depending on where you sit, you may or may not be able to hear. I'm sure you can find a million other things to do instead of listening if your sitting further away. An elementary classroom is also difficult to learn in, what if some students have A.D.D and are distracting the others around them? As for me, I am one of those students who will sit in the back of the classroom and never raise my hand. This is why an online based class is easier for me, I am not as shy doing my work, I will ask my questions and not feel as if my question is so "dumb." A major disadvantage is distractions in a face to face classroom. Another disadvantage is many students believe that their questions are dumb and would prefer not to ask them in front of the whole class.
