text: Online schooling is a safer alternative to going to school. It is safer for the environment and for students. Schools are trying to go paperless to help the environment but if school itself is online, not only is paper being saved, but pollution will decrease due to the lack of school buses, cars, and other means of transportation. With the doom of climate change approaching, anything should be done to at least postpone it, online classes are one way of doing so. Benefiting the environment indirectly benefits students, but a way that online classes are directly beneficial is violence in schools would decrease. With everyone safe at home, bomb threats, school shootings, and other forms of violence would decrease, if not disappear, entirely. The extermination of school-related violence would make students more eager to learn because they do not have to keep their guard up at all times; once again, using that energy to good use: studying.
