text: Stress can be the number one reason why some students choose to do their learning at home via online or video conferencing. Laying in bed while doing school work could be less stressful to some since you don't have to leave the comforts of your bed for school. My friend, who actually does online school, says their stress is low since they don't have to worry about being late to class or worry about waking up so early to attend school. Waking up early could be another reason some students wish to attend class at home. A friend of mine wishes to do online school next year to avoid waking up at 6:00 A.M every morning to get ready for school.
