text: High school student    Many students have conflicts that can't be avoided during the day, so why should they be punished for not going to school? Many students fall behind on school work, and suffer in there classes, because they have work after school, or have medical reasons which keep them from going to school. A solution to this problem is distance learning. Schools should offer distance learning, which means they offer online courses in addition to classes at school. This could greatly benefit students who can not make it to school or have reasons not to go. Although some may say that experiencing the social aspects of school are necessary to someones growth, there are people with medical issues, people who learn better in an online based method, and people who need to help their families would gain great benefits from an online approach to schooling.
