text: There are some people that can't be in a crowed of people because it causes them to get anxious. There are also people with other types of disorders that may lead them to need to be in the hospitals or just unable to function well with other people. People who are in situations like this can benefit from being able to take online classes because it can take away the discomfort of being around a large group of people. I have a friend who has social anxiety, and it cause her to have panic attacks when she even sees a lot of people all at once. It would be a lot easier for her to be able to work from home so she will be able to be focused on her work, and not scared of being in a group. Now some will say, people with those conditions need more human contact and all students need to be in a interactive classroom setting. This is just not true, if you are someone who won't be able to work with a large group going to school will defeat its purpose because you won't be able to even learn properly. Also forcing someone with anxiety in those types of situation can just make it worse. Proving how helpful away from school leaning can be.
