If you just get one opinion on something then you are only have one thing to go off of but if you have multiple than you can choose which one you think is best. This means a lot because the first opinion might not always be the best one for you. So go and get that second,third or maybe fourth opinion it won't hurt it will only help and you have many different people with different experiences in there life to help you. For example you could ask someone who dose not have much experience in what your asking but then if you get a second opinion they could help you because maybe they have had experience with it sometime in there life. So if you would have just got the one opinion it might not have turned out good as it would if you got that second opinion. So just getting one opinion may not be the best choice.

Well not everyone you ask could have the right information, some could be telling false or just bad information. So getting other opinions could come in big for you if the first opinion was not very good. For example if you are trying to get a opinion on what you should buy a family member for a gift and you only get one opinion and they say that the person likes something but they really don't then that could be pretty bad for you. I don't think you would be to pleased either if that happened so just get a second opinion so everyone can be happy. Also sometimes the opinion could just be really bad and not help you at all. So do your self a favor and get multiple opinions.

When athletes get injured they get an opinion from the doctor if they think they should get surgery or whatever and most of them go to other doctors for more opinions to find there best option. This helps them a lot because some doctors could say they need surgery but then others they go to could say that they won't need surgery and that they just need rest or physical therapy or something. sometimes the doctors will even say they might need career ending surgery but another doctor says that he can still play after a surgery he just need to recover. As you can expect that other opinion helps big time for them so they won't have to possibly end there career. Or it could be the other way around that one doctor says he dose not need surgery but other doctors do then he should go with surgery so whatever is hurting does not get worse and force him to stop playing. For example a couple of weeks ago there was this pitcher in baseball that got injured and was going to doctors to see if he was okay one doctor said he would need Tommy John surgery which usually puts you out for a whole season and he didn't want that so he went to two other doctors who both said he wouldn't need it so that saved him from missing a entire season which helps him a lot.

Now I will conclude my reasons on why people should seek multiple opinions to help them later on. So as you can tell after reading this finding more opinions is very helpful and could change your life in some ways. However this does not mean that every first opinion you get is wrong it just means that it dose not hurt to have multiple opinions to choose from. Like I said in sports and In basically anything in life it helps because you will always have choices to make and getting more opinions might just come up big for you. After going over my essay of why you should get multiple opinions then I hope you consider seeking more than one opinion next time you need an opinion on something.

It would cause you hear out all sorts of opinions to see the view of all the people you asked. Gaining all of the knowledge will cause a bigger solution that would most likely end out in the way you'd like it to be. If you were to only listen to a single answer, you would only get that one and only opinion that could not work as well as you thought it would.

The reason for that is because you're looking at a wide variety of answers rather than from one person. You'd get a broader knowledge of the subject, and you probably don't have to ask again. The information is likely more accurate since it came from multiple people. One single person could accidentally give you the wrong information causing a possible bad outcome. For example, there are many wars caused accidentally just because one person made a minor communication error.

During the summer of 2018, I was torn between two decisions. I had the choice to go to a famous baseball tournament in Cooperstown, New York, or go to Europe with my family. I was thinking about this tournament since the day I started playing baseball, but going to Europe is also very fun and I get to spend time with my family. when I was trying to decide between the two destinations, I consulted some of my friends and adults that I know. My parents wanted me to come with them to europe, and my coaches wanted me to go with them to Cooperstown. My teameates wanted me to go to Cooperstown, but my siblings wanted me to go to Europe. they all gave me some advice on where I should go, and my coach said, go where you would feel the most comfortable, and where you will have the most fun. Hearing all of these opinions and getting advice from everyone allowed me to make the best decision, I ended up going to Europe with my family.

Before my 11th birthday, my dad gave me the choice to get a new Xbox, or a new beseball bat. He gave me the day to devide which one he should get for me. When I went outside to play with my friends, I decided to ask for their advice. Some of my friends that play Xbox told me to get a new Xbox so that I could play with them. My baseball teammates told me to get a new bat so I could share it with them. One of my friends that I asked, played neither Xbox, or on my baseball team. He told me to take the cash value of the more expensive item, and spend it how I want. I was so thankful I had asked for his advice, because I never would have thought of this in a million years.

Distance learning is a new tool that some schools are using in order to give students an option of taking a class at home instead of at the classroom.

One's house will most often contain most of their sources of entertainment, such as video games, food, hobbies, electronic devices, and more. As children with developing brains, staying on task with all of these factors can only be accomplished by a few, but not the majority. A study conducted by the University of Virginia states that, "almost 90% of students under the age of 18 have an attention span of about 10-30 minutes before becoming distracted" (Generic_Name). This exemplifies how most students cannot stay focused in a video based classroom when there is no adult supervisor or teacher directly making sure they listen, which is quite difficult to achieve via distance learning. With this in mind, it is harder for students to have motivation to complete work during class time when they have easy access to other sources of entertainment right at their fingertips. Thus, video based learning is detrimental to student's work ethic because it gives them no motivation to complete their work whereas in the normal school system, they would be forced to work on it during class because of a direct presence of an adult supervisor keeping them on track. All in all, a world without video learning for all students is a one that strengthen's one's work ethic through practice in the work place rather than at home.

Secondly, distance learning encourages antisocial behavior among students, especially in the elementary and middle school level where their brains are developing social skills.
Claim

C816339C4D91
According to the New York Times, "children at the earliest age of 6 years old begin developing social patterns that they will continue to emulate throughout their entire lives" (Generic_Name). This proves how these years in a classroom are a crucial time for developing young minds to nurture and grow into mature adults. The reason why video based learning will tamper with this stage in student's minds is because if they only work at home, then unless they go to after school activities, they will not experience how to physically develop long lasting relationships with other people in a work setting. When a teacher assigns a group project, students not only learn about a the topic of their assignment but how to work with and interact with other humans beings of a similar intellect.

C816339C4D91
Most often then not, there has been a time where everyone has not understood a concept in a class, or has had a question about an assignment. Video based learning does not help these people since it is more of a hassle for teachers to continue on with a lesson and answer a hundred different questions simultaneously. Recently, a poll taken in 2019 with the schools who attempted to use distance learning reported that, "almost 95% of students had their grades drop between half and a full letter grade in the past semester because it was more difficult for them to ask questions and succeed" (Generic_Name). This statistic shows from a student's perspective how this educational system is not even increasing the rate of obtaining high grades, which is what this option was meant to do. The interactions between a teacher and a student in a physical setting is what makes the standard class a successful system since it ensures that teachers have an equal opportunity to make the lesson as clear as possible. Video based learning completely takes that function of a classroom away, which hurts students by making it harder to do well in school. Thus, distance learning should not be implemented in schools all around the world since it will only work against students goals.
Evidence
Effective

C816339C4D91
In conclusion, distance learning is a system with good intentions, but has its flaws that makes it far inferior to the standard classroom. This is because it limits the ability to have a strong work ethic, to develop social skills, and to have the option to ask as many questions as students need. All in all, this educational system will result in an ill equipped generation that is not ready for adulthood and the workplace, and should not be used in schools in the coming future.
