text: Another reason for online schooling being beneficial for students is that it keeps the student safer. The student away from sicknesses that may be spread due to the mass amount of people in a school. Staying at home and learning keeps these students away from any harmful sicknesses that may be caught at school. This may be very helpful for people that are more prone to sickness or have weak immune systems because it keeps them from the danger of being seriously harmed. The ability for these people to stay at home also causes them to be less distracted from the thoughts of getting sick and letting them stay focused on learning. Due to the rise in school shootings around the country, this ability to learn online keeps these students and parents safe from this fear. Students staying at home, allows the distraction of an intruder coming into the school to be exterminated and once again lets them focus on learning. Being safer is one reason why online learning from home would be a better option to learn without the distraction of being in danger.
