text: On top of the behavioral and mental benefits of online schooling, the cost of its requirements are lower as a whole. Because there is no need to maintain a school building or buy paper and pens for their students every year, the funds previously used to upkeep these things can be redirected to benefits for the students. Although some may argue that students will lose some benefits, such as lunches, libraries, or counseling, these services will be able to transition online. Lunches can be delivered, libraries can offer e-books online, and counselors are just an email away. With an increasing number of schools offering a one-to-one laptop plan, these laptops can be upgraded with better hardware and data plans to handle online schooling, and then distributed to students. The price of a laptop is comparable to textbooks. However, laptops are multi-purpose. They can facilitate learning and research, and offer entertainment and fast communication. Schools are becoming more crowded as the number of students increase exponentially, and schooling from home will declutter these buildings. Both students and schools stand to benefit from this switch.
