text: This is why I believe that it is a bad idea to require all students to perform community service. Please consider my letter when you decide whether or not to make this final.It is almost eight o'clock in the morning. A student wakes up, looks at their clock, and realizes that they have overslept. They know they will miss their school bus, and no one will be able to provide another form of transportation to school. Even if they walk, it will take a while. That means another unexcused tardy or absence. That can all change with the option of distance learning. With distance learning, students will not have to worry about the transportation to their school, or be denied the opportunity to learn in a better way because they are out-of-zone.
