text: Online classes benefit students who have mental health issues, because conditions such as anxiety and depression may prevent students from feeling comfortable in a school environment. Many students who struggle with anxiety often dont like being in places with a lot of people, which is why there should be another alternative to learning at school. Depression is also a huge health issue in teenagers because it prevents them from having a positive attitude towards learning and doing their school work. If students were doing their school work from home, they would be in a familiar setting and surrounded by their family instead of teachers and students they may not know. A online class would make it much easier for students with mental health issues to succeed, because teens wouldnt have to be put in a position where they would have to go against their own needs to get an education. Another benefit from being able to attend class from home is that if you have an injury that makes it difficult to attend class, then you can be able to keep up with what your learning without falling behind in school. This includes concussions and physical injuries that may prevent you from getting to school or that make it difficult for you to get to class. Giving students this option makes it easier to get you assignments done, especially when you cant physically be in school to complete them. The last important benefit of online classes would be that you can make your own schedule that works for you. When taking online classes you can pick what time each class can be, which is a huge advantage of distance learning. Allowing students to make their own schedule helps with many different things, but mostly sleep. School starts at 8:15 am, which is something the school system has struggled with over the years. Many students believe that school should start later in the day, instead of early in the morning. This allows students to get enough sleep so that they can be more efficient with their school work and less tired during the school day.
