text: Every year students end up missing days due to sickness or other matters. These sickly students almost always come back to loads of work to do that they can could not get done while they where out recovering. Distance learning can help with this near inevitable factor. Instead of students worrying about what work they're missing on their sick days they can open up their device and do the work from home. This same practice could also be used in scenarios such as snow days,tornadoes,floods or other bad weather that causes schools to shut down. This could also be the new way to combat schools having to add more school days to make up for the missed ones.
