text: To begin with, attending school online at home is very beneficial, in some cases especially to certain students. It increases the ability to focus. This is because the student would know they are in a safe and comfortable place, which is the most important reason. Continuing on, bullying has been a serious issue in today's society. It has come to a point where students feel unprotected in a place where their parents and teachers may think they feel safe. School is portrayed as a safe environment and should be. Although, in some situations it is not and many students have dealt with bullying in a learning environment. Bullying makes it difficult for any student to come to school focused and feel comfortable with who they are. Adding on to this reason, school shootings are another very important problem for why it is safer for students to attend online school at home. This dangerous act shatters the idea of any school being safe knowing someone could get hurt or worse. Attending online school helps avoid these kinds of situations.
