text: Another case where distant learning may come in use is for students very involved in sports. Doing a sport can be a big responsibility. Sports are very time consuming, although some athletes make it look easy, there is a lot that goes into playing. Many levels of sports may require leaving the state or country for days, sometimes even weeks. While playing a sport it is easy to be injured or become sick. Furthermore, students are loosing class time and unable to make up for missed days in little time. Distant learning would be beneficial for those who travel so they can take their school work along and manage their free time. Online classes also help when they are sick or injured to give them time to rest and heal and still not miss out on continuing to learning.
