text: Students will have less to worry about if they can't make it to school everyday. The attendance rates will go up because those who can't make it to school can still attend their classes online, leaving them with less stress. Makeup work for students will also be less of a problem, because they won't miss as much as they would if distance learning wasn't an option. This allows students to keep a stable grade while balancing school and other required responsibilities. More students will be able to stay caught up at school with distance learning offered.
