text: States should require all schools to have the option of distance learning available to the students. In addition, instead of issuing textbooks to students who would like to participate in distance learning, schools should issue laptops or tablets for the school year to help more students become able to participate.                        "All students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity this school year. Whether it's a sport, like football or cheer leading, Or a club such as theater, you must choose at least one activity to be in." Said Principal Generic_Name as he spoke loudly into the school's mic. A handful of students in Mrs. Generic_Name's 7th grade homeroom groaned and complained from hearing the announcement made over the intercom.
