text: I think everybody should be offered distance learning as an option because other students may be struggling as I was in public schooling. However, distance learning is not for everyone. Distance learning can take discipline because you don't have a teacher to bug you when you are not getting your work done. Other students may have the discipline it takes, but prefer a teacher to learn from rather than reading or watching a video online. I think online schooling can help relieve the stress many students face in public schooling. I know first hand that getting the homework turned in, doing poorly on a test, or not getting time to do things you enjoy can be very stressful. Some students may also struggle with social issues such as bullying, where distance learning can help them get away from a toxic environment.
