text: As important as it is to physically be in your classes at school, things do come up that could cause a student to miss several days of school or not be able to attend school at all. Issues like medical needs, and other personal problems in a student's life could cause them to either miss school or not feel comfortable going to school. Along with medical and personal or family conflicts, many students experience bullying, anxiety, depression, etc. These issues could affect a student's attendance and performance in school. Distance learning could solve many of these problems.
