text: Online school can reduce stress among younger aged people in many ways such as getting more sleep, having less stress-inducing factors around them, and it gives them more time to do things they actually enjoy. Take this as an example, a young teenage girl wakes up at 6am every morning and leaves for her bus at 6:30am. She gets on the bus and talks to friends and gets to school at around 7:00. When she gets to her homeroom she feels tired, but know she has to stay awake so she won't get behind in her classes. By her last class of that day, she has taken two quizzes, got assigned homework in each class, learned she has a test the next time she goes to one of her classes, learned she has a band concert on Sunday, and learned about a project she completely forgot about that is due in two days. When she gets home, she is too tired to even think about starting her homework and takes a nap. When she wakes up she does her homework, but she barely has time to do much else that day. She can not really ask her teachers about an extension on her project because she was just stressed and forgot about it, half of the school deals with the same type of issues. If she did online school she could have gone to her classes with enough energy to put up with everything she was getting, she could potentially finish the classes earlier than she would in school, do homework, and she could still have time to finish her project and maybe even practice her instrument.
