text: In conclusion, online distance learning would be absolutely unfair and unusable to the point of even considering it is foolish and stupid at minimum.As the modern world advances in technology and media, schools need to advance with it. An outdated education system leaves little room for student growth and success; it can damper the effects of the hard work that both teachers and students put into school. However, this waste of efforts can be easily avoided by means of the updating of school policies. For example, it is growing increasingly more common for schools to offer distance learning as an option for their students. Distance learning allows students to engage in online classes and video conferencing as a way of learning from home. Therefore, students would be able to attend classes virtually from their own homes. Distance learning is an absolutely essential program that all schools should offer, as it allows long-term home bound students to attend classes, short-term absent students to make up their school work faster, and increases the student-technology relationship, which strengthens learning as a whole.
