text: Many students battle personal issues day to day and struggle to still get up the next morning to go to school. Being in an unfamiliar environment every day for hours can be uncomfortable and make one anxious. For example, a friend of mine struggled with social anxiety. This mental issue caused her to have days where she would not go to school because her anxiety held her back like a boulder on a sheet of paper. This resulted in her not knowing information and consequently receiving low grades. If she had the option of distant learning it would have helped her to be able to learn while still overcoming her anxiety all in her own comfort. Unfortunately, many students world wide are bullied. Bullying causes them to not want to come to school and makes them constantly uncomfortable when they are in school. For this reason, distant learning would be beneficial. Students can still learn while comfortable and safe in their own home.
