text: Distance learning could also be a major way to relieve the stress that students feel when they miss class. Varying reasons require students to miss class during the school year. In higher level courses, a monumental amount of work is completed in every single class. This work creates stress in students there for the class, however students that have to miss class are always much more stressed, and may spend weeks trying to make up missed work. Distance learning would allow students in various places for varying reasons to be able to connect with their class through video conferencing, or other online media to attend class. Resources and worksheets can be found on their class website. Students can print these resources and complete the work during the session, just like they were at school. This beneficial option would create a less stressed environment for students that cannot mke it to class, by allowing them to stay up to date on their work.
