text: To start, online learning would be especially detrimental to ADHD learners. ADHD is short for Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder. Though it is different for everyone with it, the most common symptoms are fidgeting, high levels of activity, struggling to sit still/cope with boredom, a short attention span, and on top of that, being very easily distracted (I can back up this, as I have ADHD myself) . In their own home, distractions would be everywhere for an ADHD student, and going further, often ADHD students need structure, which working from home cannot give them. ADHD students often benefit from one-to-one help. which working online can't give them. Students without ADHD can have the same problems.
