text: Another reason that online school is beneficial could be for the long distance that some students would have to travel to get to school. If each student drove to school every weekday, their cars would be putting pollution into the atmosphere. Our world is currently in a climate change crisis and online school would help to decrease the amount of pollution in the air. In return, this would decrease carbon emissions and future generations would benefit. Not driving to school would also mean that families are spending less money on gas.
