text: The teenage years are the most important years of a person's life, it is when their brain is developing the most and when their personality really flourishes. One thing that could be detrimental to a student's development is a lack of sleep. Waking up at dawn every day is mentally and physically challenging for students, many students, like myself, skip breakfast so that they can get a few extra minutes of sleep before they have to haul themselves to school for seven non-stop hours. Working from home allows a student to set their own schedule, and allows a student to get the recommended amount of sleep that a teenager should be getting. Another thing that can interfere with a students schedule are doctors appointments, distance learning gives a student the chance to go to their appointment without having to miss a class and fall behind.
