text: When it comes to online "distance learning", the pros seem to outweigh the cons. Students who have medical conditions or who have temporarily fallen ill can continue to learn the same material as their peers and classmates without the probelems that their condition might cause them or others. Parents who wish to have their child homeschoolecd could do so without nearly so big a financial or time investment. And if a student needs a slightly slower or slightly faster pace of learning, they could receive that, as there could be many "distance classes" with varying paces or types of learninf for students who learn different things different ways at different speeds. On the whole, in this era of technology and ease, it seems that it should be very simple for students to receive the instruction they need in whatever way they absorb it best, and if their learning requires or is bettered by them remaining in their home and receiving instruction from afar, then it seems like that would be simple enough to achieve.Dear TEACHER_NAME,
