text: Distance learning can allow students with special circumstances to still participate in school. For example; A student has become very sick and can no longer attend school. They miss weeks of schools and their make up work stacks up to a point of no return. They can no longer catch up because they have missed too much. If distance learning was an option, this student could do their work from home and stay on track with the class, instead of having to retake the entire class. A motivated student with a job and lots of extracurricular activities could become exhausted from their busy schedule. If they were able to take a few of their classes at home, it would give them a little bit of free time and take some stress of their shoulders.
