text: Many students have disabilities, whether it be physical or mental, and while the school system tries their hardest to make them comfortable, sometimes it just is not enough. A student with physical disabilities, for example arthritis or an injury, could have trouble when switching classes or walking up a flight of stairs. Working from home lets them sit at a computer desk and access any class they want without having to move. Many students, even if they themselves do not know it, struggle with a mental illness. Mental illnesses or disabilities make it hard for a student to complete day to day tasks, such as group work or being in a unfamiliar and uncomfortable space. Distance learning gives a student with a mental illness the chance to work at their own pace that is comfortable for them.
