text: Students feel safer at their house, rather than at school. Unfortunately, the threat of school shootings makes schools an even less safer environment. Since taking an online class is from home, this would make the student feel safer and would benefit the students. Also, sicknesses and diseases can spread easily in schools. Students do not want to get sick, they want to learn. This is why online classes would be perfect because then they would not have to risk getting sick at school. They could stay home away from risk of disease and continue the learning process.
