text: Many students have a hard time commuting to school, whether that is due to distance, financial, family, or health related reasons. Online classes benefit the students who have a hard time getting themselves to school in the morning, and they benefit everybody by having the roads being less crowded during rush hour. This reduces the frequency of crashes, especially student driver crashes, and even benefits the student pedestrians who have to risk getting hit when crossing roads. I personally am a student who has to walk to school due to both parents having to work in the morning, and I have found that the main roads around the school are generally unsafe and the rate of crashes are high. There was a time when I was walking to school, and another student driving swerved onto the sidewalk and came inches from hitting me with their vechicle. This was not only scary, but proves how unsafe the commute to school can be for everyone involved, whether it is the walkers or the drivers, and online classes would eliminate this issue entirely. Allowing students to take class from home is also a more financially appealing option for students who are tight on money and can't afford to pay for gas or an uber to get to school everyday. Less vehicles on the roads is also more environmentally friendly, for this would reduce the hundreds of gallons of gas pollution poured into the air everyday. Lastly, eliminating the commute to school by allowing students to do their work from home is a much more manageable option for students with health issues, whether that be a disability, broken leg, respitory issues, or even just mental health issues. I personally have many friends who have mental health problems such as anxiety and depression, and commuting to school while having an anxiety attack is generally unsafe and runs a high risk of crashing. Students with the more direct problem of a broken leg also benefit from being able to stay home to learn by being able to take their time to rest their injury and look after it as needed, while still getting their education.
