text: Another benefit of distance learning is that students can still attend class even in the event of inclimate weather or illness. Many schools are currently using this advantage, due to the coronavirus. Several schools have already switched to online classes, so as to avoid spreading the disease without having to cancel classes altogether. Other schools are planning on implementing online classes as well due to the coronavirus. Schools have also used distance learning during times of inclimate weather, such as substantial snowfall, so that students did not miss a day of learning. Many schools districts are implementing snow programs, where if school is canceled due to snow or other inclimate weather, students can still learn and not have to make up for the missed day or days later on in the year.
