text: Being stuck at school for nearly eight hours a day is taxing for students. Spending all that time learning with little time for breaks can wear someone out. By the end of the day there is little appetite to use common functions of the brain to do more school work and sometimes homework. Having an online class can alleviate the wear and tear the brain goes through by spending some parts of the school day relaxing. I can speak on this topic from personal experience. In the fall of 2019, I had an online class period in my schedule that was dedicated to working on a class that was taught online. During this period, I was able to work on the online class, while also catching up on work for other classes, all while being in the comfort of my own home. Having that time to myself to be able to relieve stress from the day put me in a better mood for my other classes as I was able to decompress and take some time away from others. The amount of school work that is given each day can be too much to handle and can overwhelm students, while having an online class period can calm nerves and give students the ability to focus on their well-being.
