text: One final useful situation that distance learning would be greatly beneficial in is during situations in which students have no method of getting to the school itself. One of my best friends is a very hard working student, but he frequently falls behind his classes. The reason he falls behind is because he misses some days of school without notice. This is normally due to him sleeping in from a faulty phone alarm, which he has no control over fixing. He lives too far from the school, so he can't walk there, his single parent is at work by the time he is awake, and he does not have access to a vehicle; this leaves him no option but to stay home for the whole day, missing out on valuable class seat hours to give him the best possible educational opportunity. Distance learning would provide him, and many other students with similar stories, with equal opportunity to learn with school provided chromebooks in the household. I've watched him and many other students temporarily fall behind in classes and watch their grades drop from only one missed class. Distance learning has the power to provide access to maximized classroom learning time for all students.
