text: Many children today are diagnosed with some form of learning disability, whether it be ADD or even autism, it affects how that student is able to learn. If a student is able to learn at home via online classes or video conference chat, it allows them to learn in a way that is tailored to the individual needs of that child. There are students that may disagree and say that they learn fine in a public school environment and dont need distance learning, so why not provide equal opportunity and allow the student to decide what works best for them. Students who are distracted easily tend to learn better at home in an environment that they are familiar with.
